Why doesn't my parents accept who I am?

Many times our parents want us to be what they have had their heart set out for us to be since we have been born. Then, when we express that we feel different or are something different they get upset because they did not have our plans in mind when they were building this fairy tale of a life for us. It's ok because a lot of parents think this way, not just yours. Your purpose is your purpose and who you identify as physically, mentally, or emotional is your choice because it is your life to live. You have to express to your parents that though you understand the expectations they had for your life is great; they have to understand that your life is just that. Your life and you have to be able to live it according to your goals and expectations. Though they might be upset they will eventually get over it. You have to be firm with your thoughts and your expressions with them and do not give in to their thoughts of change. Be you and only you. Remember many people will not accept you, but that does not matter its what you accept.

Sometimes, it feels like you don't belong or that they're constantly pushing you to be the person they want you to be, and even though it's hard to understand at times, they just want what's best for you.

Sometimes, their vision of your future and life is influenced by their dreams and what they weren't able to experience, and that's maybe why they're trying to mold you into this person you don't want to be. Deep down, no matter what happens, they will love you for what you do and who you become and they will support you and come around with time. It just takes time to understand that the best way to love you and show it to you is by supporting you through thick and thin and with your decisions.

Some people struggle to accept people that have different beliefs or feelings than they do. It may be that your parents have different beliefs or feelings than you do, and so they don't understand who you are, leading them to not accept you. I was once in a situation like that, and it was really tough, but it was quite a relief when I managed to accept myself, which led others to accept me too. Sometimes it helps to think in terms of how the other person views the situation, and they may not always accept those that they do not understand.
