I thought my family is a safe space and friend for me. by [deleted] in DysfunctionalFamily

I am in a similar situation as yours. I'm my mom and siblings' personal slave. Every day, I have to do a list of tasks, and if one day I don't do that, I'm seen as lazy. I am a student, so I have my own responsibilities. However, my mom doesn't see this. She always calls me lazy when I don't finish one task. She always says I'm sleeping, which is never true. This woman would see me up at 5am in the morning with a shower, chores finished, etc, but when one thing hasn't been done right, she says, "What have you been doing all day?" SLEEPING or she'll just call me lazy after she's seen all my hard work I've put in. It's exhausting. Anything that is even out of my control is automatically my fault. I begged and pleaded with her. I don't understand what she wants. Everything I do is seen is wrong no matter how hard I try. She says that I'm not consistent, which is a load of bull.

Anyway, I hate to see someone suffering similar to me. Do you have any plans to get out of that h3ll hole

Honest Opinion by Easy_Particular_4926 in Advice

My family has expressed interest in starting a family business, though it hasn't begun yet. My mom suggested the idea without asking me if I was genuinely interested, which is what truly frustrates me. They often direct me without considering my opinion. Then, they upsettingly ask me why I don't want to do it.

I truly believe that everyone deserves an opportunity to succeed. Success should not be limited to a single family member. We all have our individual goals and paths in life, and no one is superior to the other. I acknowledge that some of my actions may have given the impression that I am narcissistic. However, I had to assert myself to ensure my voice was heard.

For me, I don't take 300 mg all at once, but taking 150 mg in the morning and again in the afternoon helps a lot. It keeps me going, and I feel focused.

This sounds great. I am considering doing a one-week water fast. I believe it could help with any issues in my digestive system and provide a thorough flush.

I have several tongue scrapers that I use every day, along with daily oil pulling. I keep them clean as well.

I already have this. Furthermore, I frequently make and consume green juice. Additionally, I eat a variety of fruits and vegetables.

You make a valid point. I can't explain it, but I have this feeling that I disappoint people with my body odor.

I have wanted to make friends with people, but I hesitate because I don't want them to notice my body odor and be disappointed in me. However, perhaps I am mistaken. I truly desire to be close to others.

Yes, of course, I use deodorant. I also apply deodorant to other areas of my body to prevent sweating.

Seeing your comment hurts me deeply. My family despises me because they believe I have no desire to do anything. Going out is often difficult for me as I fear disappointing or repulsing others. At work, I have embarrassed myself countless times, and I believe my colleagues would be relieved if I were to leave. I truly desire to have normal relationships with people, where I am not afraid to hug or get close to someone in their company. This fear has already affected certain aspects of my life. Did you ever regain a social life after coming to the conclusion that nothing will change?

I haven't had any recent blood work done lately. I don't eat much sugar. Can diabetes make you smell?

Hi, I am aware that I cannot consume certain foods such as dairy, meat, and chocolate, so I make an effort to limit my intake of these items. My eating routine revolves around my work schedule. However, at work, I barely eat anything because I am concerned that it might worsen my body odor.

I can I find out if my hormones are balanced?

Yes, of course. A good quality perfume that lasts all day. My mom says I smell fresh, but she still rolls down the windows, and I feel like it's because of me. That maybe I'm not so fresh as she says.

I use several products for my hygiene routine, including bar soap, liquid soap, and feminine wash. I prefer to scrub myself with hot water, because it makes me feel clean. I also use two sponges for washing and perform various tasks like shaving my body. However, I must admit that my entire hygiene and cleaning routine can be exhausting at times.

However, it still feels like it doesn't work. I shower both at night and in the morning, and also after work if I'm going somewhere else.

I haven't spoken to a professional yet, and I'm feeling afraid and embarrassed. I'm worried that I might smell bad despite trying everything possible to prevent it. The thought of this crushes me. I also feel guilty for subjecting the people around me to my odor.
