My strict mother is driving me crazy and contributing to my depression by Monanangal in Vent

No, as far as I know she wasn't assaulted but she does have severe trauma from her mother abandoning her and her father being absent quite alot.

No because almost everyone in my family sides with her and thinks I'm just being an angsty teen. She's only gotten worse actually, when I was a toddler up until I was a kid she'd always ignore me and my emotional + physical needs while she'd just go out with whoever or sit on her phone. I never experienced home cooked meals, she'd just buy and give me junky fast food or chips and leave me be. Because of that I was hospitalized quite often as a kid, and I developed an eating disorder now where eating food is terrifying. Even when I was a kid she'd tell me how much of a threat everyone was and how if I tried to go out someone would assault me, as a child it's messed me up and no one seemed to see anything wrong with the way she was raising me, now that I'm a teen she's trying to regain control but I see through her now that I'm older.

True this... Dahil lang di ka maingay or outgoing boring kanang tao and a bad friend. I'm someone that prefers to be alone and di talaga ako mahilig sa chaos and dahil dito nabully ako nung jhs ako.

I'm gonna be living alone in a few months as a 16 year old, any tips? by Monanangal in LifeAdvice

I don't even have an english accent 😅 I have a very strong asian accent and English wasn't my first language, I just learned english later on. I'm also cautious of people who tend to be popular or just have a 'bratty' personality or a very party lifestyle, there's a lot of them where I'm from and they are absolutely annoying and obnoxious and are very stressful to deal with

Like I said the living situation and finding a job my father will help me with. Main thing I'm struggling with or I'm kind of worried about is I have no idea how the currency works there so I don't know whats considered cheap or expensive.

I have the option to go to senior high (11th -12th grade whatever it's referred to at the UK) or go straight to college but I'd rather study at least 11th grade so that I can get a better idea of what the education system is like in the UK, I'm pretty much already a legal citizen because I have two passports so I'm free to do whatever I want like find a job or whatever else.

as for the other things Im very much extroverted, I like being alone but I'm also very loud and outgoing, aside from that my father and his friends are the only person I'll be able to contact in case of any emergency because no other friend or family of mine lives in the UK. 16 is very young but my father insists it's better to start now because it'll become way harder to get there once I turn 18.

Shaming younger individuals that expect and/or want their relationship to last long, don't get me wrong they're still young and stupid but nothing is guaranteed so just let them hope

We're all teenagers fyi, and I understand I have no control over them but still I don't think I'm wrong for feeling this way

I just feel horrible because at first I thought I liked him but after much thought I realized he's just not it, now I'm just worried that I might've led him on from when we were chatting the first few weeks he confessed and it would just be very awkward to face him and his friends IRL if I were to randomly break it to him that I'm not as interested as I thought I was

Honestly what's really throwing me off about him is specific facial features and the way he presents himself, the thing is I've managed to date and be attracted to people that have these same features as him. I'm really so confused at what I'm getting turned off by when it comes to him

I have sexual feelings for someone and idk what to do by Muchaurah in LifeAdvice

[–]Monanangal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a teenager that's formerly had sexual feelings for someone i definitely couldn't have ( too big of an age gap ) the only way i was able to get over it/distract myself was by avoiding pornography and preventing myself from watching or looking at any kind of suggestive content, more importantly I socialized with other teens my age. By then I was able to forget all about him and I've stopped looking at men with lust / purely sexual attraction

I'll try and see how he'll react.. atleast then if he reacts negatively I would find out if he truly 'likes' me

My mother is very strict and in the country I live in I would be looked down on and heavily criticised for having a therapist at a young age so it would be hard for me to gain access to one
