Tonight I was feeling really low and I opened up to my parents about my feelings thinking they wouldn't judge me but they just told me to toughen up and that I was begging for their attention and pity. I used to have friends but I never really talked to them because I thought they only wanted to hang out with me because they felt bad for me and I didn't want their sympathy. I feel like I can't ever open up to anyone because I'm just not that important for anyone to care about me or my feelings and I would be wasting their time anyway. I actually feel selfish for even thinking that I matter at all. Sometimes I wish I was never born so that my family didn't have to be ashamed of me.

    Your parents are insensitive arseholes. Please don't let their bullshit lead you to giving up on getting support.

    It's not selfish of you to believe you matter and you deserve to have people in your life who genuinely care about you and your feelings.

    I suggest you get yourself some professional counselling and stop expecting your horrible parents to be supportive.

    There's a lot of emotions and overthinking here. Your relationship will improve with your folks when you get older, no worries.
