Hi I'm new here
I'm not entirely sure how to start off, I'm in my early twenties, still a student and still living at home.
My family is very dysfunctional and I am what you'd label the "black sheep" of the family. This has had major mental and emotional tolls on me but I'm constantly trying to be better, to rise above the dysfunction.
I have come to enjoy my own company more and more, like-minded people have been hard to find in my town. And I have absolutely zero emotional support from family members. I'm just trying to get by day by day but it can get tiring.

I'm so sorry your family has caused such emotional scars. I'm older than you. However, I had a dysfunctional family myself. It still takes an emotional toll and is tiring. The fact you are striving to constantly grow and do better is a testament to your residency, and you will rise above. 💜
