I can't even hug my own mum

I'm a teenager and everything my mum does irritates me. I can't even bare sitting with her eating dinner because the sound of her eating infuriates me so much. Literally everything she does makes me angry. I feel so guilty because I think she's depressed and when she cries I can't show any emotion towards her so I just have to ignore her. If I hug her I feel creeped out. Is this normal? I am really worried about being like this towards my own mother.

    I think it's normal. I don't like to hug anyone in my family, there's something weird about it.

    The day your Mum dies you'll feel sorry you didn't hug her more and kissed more. Life is to be looked ahead and to spoil our family, most especially our mother and father.
    If you feel that way and can't find a answer for it try to talk with a psychiatrist or a psychologist.
    There is a problem there and a serious one.
    I give lots of hugs to my son and he hugs me to and kisses me. Is mother left us just after he was born and I had to be father and mother till now. He is 16.

    That sounds alot how I feel towards my dad. EVERYTHING he does annoys me. How he eats so slow, how he how moves so slow, how he walks watches TV, when I hear him eat, pretty much everything. I always hope so much that he does not hug me. He hasn't done that in about 15 years but I would feel sooo awkward if he did.

    I think my dad may also be depressed. But he doesn't really care about anyone but himself. He only wastes his money on women and beer. We have to buy our own anti-depressants because pretty much everyone in my family is depressed because of him.

    After reading your story, i felt really sad and I pity your mother especially at the part when she cried.

    I mean, for any girl who cries, she needs someone to be by her side and a child of her is the best thing to have. She's your mother, come on! she brought you up with love, just return the favour and show her the same.

    I hope that your utter dislike for her will fade away, just try to understand the see the little things she has done for you and be appreciative about it.

    Just think.. what's your Mum ever done for you?
    Why should you feel guilty in any way because you choose not to be there for her when she needs help?
    If you have a problem with doing something for her, perhaps you might want to chat it through with your GP.
    Sounds like your Mum would probably be best advised to do likewise.
    Go on, put aside your issues, even if it's only for a short while, and show her that you actually have positive emotions as well

    Please try to be understanding. One day you will look back on how things are now and feel more guilty than you do now. She is a sensitive person, I don't know what issues she has but please try to help her :)
    Knowing that she has a caring child will make her happy, for a start.

    Some of what you say I can relate to. I feel uncomfortable around crying people and especially those close to me. I find it difficult to hug my mom too.

    Be sure you don't hurt your mum too much, she could have a depression after a while. But being a teenager can make you hate everyone, maybe it'll go away when you grow up.

  • It's not normal from my perspective.

    Sometimes you need your space, even for a few days away from eachother.
    Hopefully you'll feel more respect to her after that.
