I feel unloved
| Here have some love:
*loves*
| Kinda the same here, my parents are old like very old; there's 6 decade difrence between me and my parents and they don't really understand the concept of depression or social anxiety i don't blame them tho. it just feels loney.
| Well, do you legitimately empathize with them? I mean, do you ever talk to your parents about your stress or depression? You would think people that have known you your whole life would pick up on things like that, but maybe not. I won't blame people for not picking up on signals for that because it can be hard and I don't either.
| Like someone can feel that way and still not blame their parents, then commit suicide. Then their parents might blame themselves for not paying closer attention and wonder what they could've done to prevent it.
I can't speak from experience. I'm a pretty depressed guy but I'm not doing what I'm preachin' here. I'm the type of idiot that loves to avoid any conflict at all. Just wanted to say what I thought though
| >>389810 I've talked to my parents about what bothers me. And they tell me that other people aren't going to care anyway. But that's not the point, who cares about strangers? My family should know better especially when I've been upfront about this.

| My family rarely, if ever, show concern over when I feel stress, confused, or overstimulated.
They're not bad people, but it never feels like they legitimately empathize with me.
