  • I think there’s more nuance here than a yes or a no. Is it normal? No, not really. Objectively this isn’t how most people react. However IIN that you want your boundaries respected? IIN that you react negatively to something you don’t like? That’s a resounding yes.

    The part that really isn’t normal is your family’s lack of respect for your feelings. I know I’m just a random internet dude so I don’t have all the answers, but reach out to your support system and tell them how you feel. School counselors, trusted family members, teachers, or your friends (sorry to assume with the school stuff but you sound young). If you have a hard time expressing your feelings- show them this post. You are worthy of respect and love that doesn’t hurt. I sincerely hope you are happy now and in the future.
