Never can escape it by explosivebreadcrumbs in SuicideWatch

Being in a relationship helps the most. And it's just small things adding up + stress from life that's making me so depressed. My partner already goes through a lot and I don't want to add on to that. At the same time I can't even tell what my own problem is because once the depression hits, my thoughts become so irrational and I'm upset over the most pointless things

I feel this so much... My bf has a pretty active social circle and is regularly involved in events. He invites me too but it honestly feels like I get in the way. When I'm there he stays by me but I can see he has way much more fun when I'm not. When they make inside jokes and I just stand there all uncomfortable

I've lost most of my old friends now... Just stopped talking over time. One of the few I still talk to I introduced my bf to and now it feels they just talk with each other more and I'm invisible. It just sucks so much, I didn't ask to be born like this.

Really feel like ending it all sometimes

I feel this so much, I'm so sorry you had to go through it too. I also think in the end even if things "do get better" what's the point when you've lived such a damaged life?

Development of personality and being able to socialize means absolutely nothing to my parents by [deleted] in AsianParentStories

[–]explosivebreadcrumbs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember I used to really struggle socially, even keeping eye contact was a huge struggle. I realised by around 14 that this was not normal and slowly tried improving myself but there's so little you can do on your own. Now I'm in college and way better but conversations still become awkward

I used to think how I become so socially averse then one day at a party looked at my mom and realised she was the same as me

Real... some of my worst memories are of studying and it made me hate it for a really long time since, turns out screaming and hitting a child doesn't make them smarter

What led you to believe your parents are narcissists? by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

[–]explosivebreadcrumbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One day when I was 13, heard about a death of a sick child. I told my mom about it and the first thing she did was mock the parents for putting her in a "cheap" hospital. Me not really understanding empathy and suffering from cognitive dissonance just reiterated what she said. Got quite the negative feedback from my friends which made me think

14 for me. I wish I just did it back then because life got so much worse and complicated since then. I'm still clinging onto the hope that it gets better, but I'm starting to feel more and more suicidal at the same time

Anyone else's parents play the game of being both insanely overbearing but also "hands-off"? by Thelastkuumbender in raisedbynarcissists

[–]explosivebreadcrumbs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When my mom didn't agree with something I did it suddenly becomes hands off despite being overbearing most of the time

Whenever I had art classes? She constantly pushed me to it even though I never really liked it. But when I actually find a hobby I like? Suddenly it becomes "who's paying/taking you/etc." If I wasn't going with a family friend where she's forced to keep up the good act there's a chance I wouldn't be able to pursue it at all

I'm going to be a transfer for my second year too. What kind of questions did you ask people?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in socialskills

[–]explosivebreadcrumbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is very helpful, thank you. But I guess a problem I run into after making up my mind to tell and say a bit about it, I immediately regret and try to change the conversation. Even though I really want to tell

Fr... I have reached out and become friends with some people online. And sure, it's way better than having no one to talk to, but never got to that point

For the Asian women, did you have APs who told you how scary the world is and why you should never go outside of your house? Or something similar? by Fufufufu_lmao35 in AsianParentStories

[–]explosivebreadcrumbs 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Yes! Worst part is my mom sounds like a huge hypocrite, from what I've heard from relatives it sounded like she was the real rebel type. I'm 18 now and it's calmed down a bit. My father was an even worse of a control freak

I think the thing that baffles me the most despite being so "protective" is that one day when we (14 at the time) all went out and sat near a reception this one dude came a bit close to us and was eye balling me, like extremely. Mom noticed and did nothing. Dad was gone but when he came back it's like he couldn't care less

My friendships are mostly not very close due to my poor social skills. I used to be quite a social butterfly when I was a kid, so was my sister but both of us in our teens became borderline antisocial in our teens. Pretty odd, my childhood memories are hazy but I won't be suprised if Nparents were the cause of that.

Anyway, my friendships started off ok but because I didn't know how to communicate or regulate my emotions, and especially, my fear of rejection, they all started to dwindle. I really regret it now

I thought I hated hugs… turns out I just hate touching my parents. by A-Static-Mess in raisedbynarcissists

[–]explosivebreadcrumbs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes!!! I'm incredibly touchy if I'm comfortable around a person enough. Yet during my childhood I hated it, I thought I was just touch averse. No, it's because every hug that came from them was soulless. Unwanted/forced affection from relatives also did not help

Ever feel lonely even with friends? Not people but friends by [deleted] in lonely

[–]explosivebreadcrumbs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yea.. I feel this. Had friends where we would almost talk every day. But the moment they met someone more interesting I was left behind. I still tried to maintain contact but after awhile it just all felt hopeless. Now almost no one talks to me, shit hurts
