I'm an emotional mess
So, I am nervous about going to college this fall. Not because of the virus, but because of all my family members and friends criticising my choice. They keep telling me I am going to be in too much debt, and that I should have gone to communtiy college. They think because my major is common I shouldn't have "gone away." My mother yells at me to the point where I am in tears. I don't know how to cope, because I really want to go away, but everyone makes me feel stupid and anxious.
@spiritualrose
Rose congratulations, you worked hard to get into college and should give yourself plenty of credit for that.
There will always be critics and you need to distance yourself from that garbage and remind yourself that this is YOUR life. When someone is giving you a hard time, either try not to engage or use the "broken record" technique: https://www.liveyourtruestory.com/3-simple-assertiveness-techniques-communication/
Remember, you dont have to prove youself to them, just be okay with yourself and your achievement.
Take care
