When I talk to my family I'm not very open to them. I never show my feelings around them. I think it's because I'm not really paid much attention to, never really was. Do you think that is what makes me so uneasy with my family? I know my parents say they don't have favorites and I would like to believe them its just every time I get the courage to tell them something like I have an A+ in Geography or something like that they ignore me. But whenever my sisters tell them they always cheer them on. And no I'm not the oldest of the family... I'm the middle. My mom likes my older sister best. And my dad likes my little devil sister best. Sometimes the only people I can relate to are my friends... but they don't really have the same problems as me so I found this website and decided to post this to see if I can get any advice on how to become more open with others.

    Its kind of a thing where you dont want them to see you less of a person pr let them down but dont worry you do wat you like and dont look for approval be proud you got a A+ you work hard and prove people wrong you know your worth a lot more than peoples opinions

    You should go on a rampage and ask them why the fuck they aren't treating you like a child who deserves love and care from his parents. This pisses me off! I'm sorry this is happening to you but hopefully this will make you break the cycle with your children.

    You should also consider speaking to your parents about this, even if you're embarassed or something.

    No worries, I keep my distance from family and friends as well. People like us don't easily open up to others but when you meet someone special, after a while they are easy to open up to and talk to and they become your best friend.

    Also, if you think your parents aren't encouraging you enough then learn to take pride in yourself because at the end of the day your the one who knows what your accomplishments are worth and that's what matters.
