Well , just know that it seriously does get way better when you don ' t have to live with your family all the time . And I felt like a much more functional human being when I didn ' t have to physically be near them all the time . I ' m not saying I don ' t like my family , but sometimes I don ' t like who I am when I ' m with my family , it brings out my argumentative side . And also , I ' m sure the other people in your family who you talk about don ' t think about themselves as the funny one or the charismatic one or even the scientific one . Everyone has stuff they don ' t like about themselves , you just gotta figure out what you do like about yourself . You also just need to find a passion or interest that you can do or just read about to get your mind out of negative thoughts like this . I know it helps me a lot , plus listening to music . I ' m sure your parents were just trying to connect with you and try to see how you were doing . That sounds like a really stressful situation . Maybe tomorrow you can talk to your mom and say you know it really makes me upset when you treat me like a kid or constantly talk to me , can you please not do that ? It doesn ' t make me feel like an adult . I know my mom has been known to do stuff like that with me too and it really bothers me , but I know she does it to try to connect with me when I ' m sad or upset or lonely . They ' re not intentionally trying to make you feel bad , and communication after the stressful event , once you ' ve calmed down , has really helped my mom learn what to say to me and how to interact with me .
