Is it normal to feel unworthy?

I hope you can find a way to take pride in yourself independent of your family and their shortcomings. Your whole post is about how you will be judged, and how you judge her, on the basis of family background. No one can change that background.

You can change how you think about it and whether it is something that holds you back much from becoming your own person. You will be judged for who you are mostly, (and that will be by more than whether you have a drivers permit - just saying). You do sound like an insightful and nice guy. So play on and build your better points.

You can always refer to your family as friendly but a bit nutty (and don't idealize other families). I'd caution that if you act as though they are some big cross you have to bear then that will be off-putting, because you will sound damaged and few will want to join the misery.

So - try to be more positive about who you are, and at least neutral about your family.

It's fairly normal and I applaud you for admitting this. Many people become jealous and angry towards people who get a better deal then they do. I have caught myself feeling the same way you're feeling right now.

My parents are divorced and my father legally claimed he had no children, we have no relationship. My mother is with an illegal half her age with their love child and she works at McDonalds. Half my family is on drugs, the other half hates each other. When I am around people who were raised in good families, I feel like I'm out of place.

I encourage you to talk to her and ask her out. Girls like her sometimes appreciate the breath of fresh air that comes from seeing something other than the usual suburban nuclear family Mom van and sports loving Dad American dream scenario. I've met a lot of people like that that wished that they knew life - real life, not dinner on the table every night followed by small talk about next week's soft ball game.

If she's going to judge you for your circumstances, and I have met THAT type, then fuck her. Let her live in her bubble, let her take the blue pill.

Aww, ya stupid cunt, fuck orf.

I hate to tell you bubba. But neither is your girlfriend or her family perfect. All of us out here are just human beings and we all have our baggage. So go ahead and ask this chick out and just remember that you are probably no more screwed up than anyone else.

I felt that way before. Well it involved my friends instead of someone I like. I've been to my friends’ house many times and they have it nice, beautiful home, wonderful normal loving family. My mom bought a home that was decent on the inside and looked like shit on the outside due to her very bad credit and debt she's in. I'm ashamed of bring my friends to my house because I feel kind of lower than them. So I don’t like to bring people to my house and I too feel like I need to make my house better or else I feel lower than them. I know they'll accept me for who I am and when I did bring them how they didn't treat me any different. I just feel so embarrassed and the idea of them look down on me hurts.

I believe when we think about the situation to much, we create useless scenarios that get in our way. Don’t be ashamed, if she really likes you she'll accept you for who you are regardless of how your family and life is.

Yeah go ahead and ask her out! :)

She shouldn't judge you by how you live, by your life. If she likes you she won't think much about it, she would want you to feel happy.

Although I admit it I feel odd around rich guys that have been pretty much rich their whole life. I know this isn't really what you are asking here. But, I don't think I would ever be able to live with a rich man. I don't want that much money and I want to earn it myself.

i can understand how you feel, but i dont think you should worry about that cause if she likes you and you her thats all that matters i dont think parents will be payed attention to much. in other words she is going to like you for you not for your parents

huh? Yea I feel the exact same way and i'm in the same situation. As a poor high school kid. And theres nothing creepy or pathetic about how you feel remember theres others who feel the exact same way for instance like me. But hey get your license whatever makes you feel comfortable enough to make the move and remember you only live ONCE.
