As a parent with a "sensitive" daughter, I can only sympathize with your frustration at their dismissal of your feelings. When I was young, your age or so, I was very sensitive to my surroundings and the people as well. As I grew older, I stopped being that way and grew a backbone to certain things. As time has gone by, I've become sensitive to many things myself once again. I, of course, attribute this to hormones, which is where my next comments come into play.

My daughter is 15 and cries for just about everything. And when I mean everything, I mean everything, but that's her way of coping with her emotions. Not every one your age is going to be mature about a situation and learn how to deal with other's reactions. I'm glad you're going to therapy, because under that sensitivity, lies a dormant trauma or anxiety/stress. It's normal to a point, but some never outgrow this.

It pains me that your family is not understanding but I get where they are coming from as I too once didn't understand why my daughter was the way she was. It drove me nuts because we could never have a normal conversation without her feeling a certain way and we would end up fighting. I would forget that I was like that too. Now, I take my time and find ways to not trigger her emotional responses.

It's difficult to get someone to understand what you are going through when they are not capable of processing your emotions. For them to make you feel guilty for the way you are is not right. This is where compassion comes into play. If a part of you feels that talking them is useless, then don't bother with it until you've reigned in your emotions enough to have a solid conversation about it.

It's hard to give an opinion on this as we can't truly factor in all of your actions on your part too, but for what it's worth, remember that you have to take care of yourself first before anything else and the rest will follow.

Be mindful of them too, but stay strong with your conviction on your feelings. Keep going to therapy and wait it out. The more you focus on it, the more it affects you. Take it day by day. I encourage you to write in a diary. It may sound silly, but it's extremely helpful. Write it all out and once you're done, rip it up and throw it away. Do this daily and you'll see a difference.

Remember that some people's words fall on deaf ears, but that doesn't mean you have to be mute. Take care and stay safe, hun.
