How do you move on with your life?
I'm feeling a bit stuck. I don't really know why but for some reason, instead of moving forward, it feels like all I'm doing is moving backward....

According to Einstein, it's impossible to move backward. But it is possible to move forward in time. So for you to be moving backward is simply not possible.

Does running away counts as moving forward?

Yes, because you're progressing in a way.

It takes time. It's a process. You'll get there I hope:)

I hope so too...
I don't like feeling like this...
It just adds to my list of what I don't like about myself....

The key to moving on is to like yourself.

That's something that I find hard to do...
It's either I don't like this about myself or I can tolerate this.....

Though when it comes to other people, I'm fairly accepting... that it sometimes make me think if I hate myself or something...

Maybe you should talk to a therapist. I've been seeing one for several months and she's been very helpful. You need to work on your self esteem, and a professional can help you with that.

Maybe I should...but I'm still dependent to my parents (despite graduating college since I haven't started looking for work...I don't feel like I'm... mentally(?) and emotionally (?) ready...) and if I ask them, they would probably preach to me about this and that (it's always been like this anyway) and worry (mostly my mom).

Maybe you can get some services for free. Call the county's mental health services and see if they can help you. That way you wouldn't have to involve your parents.
