I Can Be Very Pessimistic

I think i was just raised to think of the worst and my family tends to do it but when i cant calm down when i afraid they tend to get defensive and call me emotional. Even yesterday my father said im too stupid to handle advanced classes because i break down over general education. He is right but why did he have to be so mean about it.

I think they are probably correct and you need to discern the difference between honest criticism and mean / rude. You are overly sensitive and need to get over yourself.

@Cow1919 How old are you? I am kind of gruff at times due to my age and have raised 6 kids that turned out great. They all make more money than I do 4ea. have their own business, 1ea. is a Physicians Assistant and our daughter who has a college degree is married to a Navy Seal. So I think I must have done something right. O r they flourished in spite of me.

@acpguy what age to teenager typically become annoying again? In about there.

@Cow1919 I never thought my kids were annoying being teenagers as they got into trouble like I did and it is all a learning experience. The biggest thing is not to do anything that will be permanently bad for you. think of what the outcomes of yor actions might be, if it isn't serious then go for it. Have fun.

@acpguy nope I’m just annoying, I don’t go out or try anything new, I clean cook eat sleep and complain

@Cow1919 You need some time for yourself to let go. Even time just sitting outdoors and try doing some meditation might help. Be constantly aware of your surroundings and make every action your mindful.
