Change?
I always feel like because of how I am and who I am I'll never have friends, I'm always being misjudged and misunderstood even by my own family. I think it's time to change
@D17id
It's hurts when even close ones do not understand but misjudge you. I wonder whether you are more on the introverted side. Introverts often find it hard to quickly express their thoughts, but this isn’t a flaw, it is more because they are thinking deeply and can find it more difficult to put their thoughts into words. Does that sound familiar?
What do you think needs changing?
@amiablePeace77 I'd say I'm more introverted but others say I'm very extrovert, I really don't know what to change, but everytime I just feek like changing my whole self or personality is the best thing to do
@D17id
Feeling to have to change yourself completely sounds painful to me. Accepting yourself how you are and learning to ignore hurting comments from others needs practice, but it can be done and is worthwhile!
What are things you like about yourself and never want to change?
I like to share this video with you from Tara Brach
Radical Acceptance is a Prerequisite for Change
You might be in the middle of intro- and extrovert, meaning that you are an ambivert
It's not normal for me, as a teenager, to be feeling tired everyday at all times. I feel like this because I'm always too hard on myself. I try to be the best, I try to make friends, I try to not disappoint my family, I try to be the golden kid everyone thinks of me, I try and try, but I don't have friends, I feel like I'm always depressed, I'm always alone, I need to rest but HOW? WHEN? I'm tired of these feelings, it's so overwhelming, it's so TIRING
I understand you 100%. I try so har dto be"normal" but life gets so complicated. I found difficult to make and keep friends, family is always a disappointment, who think they would back you you up but its never like that.
Unfortunatelly there is a point when we need to make a decision to think about ourself for our own good, for me personally it is difficult because i so many responsabilities but i hope one day i will be able to change.
I hope you will too.

I know right? My family instead of making me feel good about myself they make me feel like I'm not good enough or I'm not "normal" like how you said. I try to focus on myself, try to not let the negativity get to me, but lately I can't.
Regarding friends, I'll just have to see if I can find someone that has the same energy and vibes as me 😔
