I don't know. With me I think it might be that I'm run down to the very bottom of my energy. I go to school during the week and stress out about that, homework and classes and collage plans, and then I work on both days on the weekend- for no pay because my parents own it. I get tips, but on average that's like twenty bucks a day. I havn't had a day off in months. And that's not even being dramatic- seriously- MONTHS. I mean, most sixteen year olds sleep in untill four o'clock on the weekends, right? And on top of that, I do EVERYTHING for EVERYBODY. we have five horses, four dogs and five cats, and I take care of all of them every morning and every night. I cook dinner almost every night, when we don't have take-out. I clean the house, because my sister is convinced that since she's eighteen she doesn't have to do anything for anyone.
And my mother thinks I'm the laziest child that ever was, as does my grandma. And she asumes I'm stupid. She takes to me in baby talk and acts like SHE'S four half the time, and she thinks she knows more than me. And I know she does, on certain subjects. Like when I go out to feed the horses, and she for once goes out to help, she acts like she knows them better than me, and like it's my first time around them. I grew up around those horses, and she goes out to the barn every once in a blue moon, so I DO know more about those horses than she does. A lot more. It's kind of insulting.
M7y father is a class-A Jackass. He comes home, expexts dinner on the table the house spotless and the remote on his desk. If you don't respond to him in less than tenn seconds, he seriously huffs like a thirteen year old girl and halfway does it himself, making as much angry noise as possible. He believs in all that "Speak when spoken to" crap. And I love to sing. That's my dream, to be able to song on stage. And when America's got talent came close to our town I asked if I could audition. He said no. Why? because he didin't want to wait in line for a day with me and because there are plenty of "good" singers out there. I don't know if you sing or do anything like that, but that hurts.
When we are teenagers, we often feel completely disenfranchised and powerless to control how things go in our lives. You are not the only one who has felt like this so take comfort that you are not alone.
And, you are not dumb, even though you think your grandma treats you like an imbecile with the horses. Usually, people are not restricting their behavior to just one person. If she is treating you like this, she is probably treating others like this too (including your mother). Again, you are not alone in this.
Why not try opening a YOU TUBE account and singing on your channel? If you are as good as you say you are, you may be able to advance your career this way.
Is it normal to always want to be alone?

This, too, shall pass.

Hang in there and stay strong.
