Anyone ever feel as if you can't express yourself truthfully to you friends or family cuz ...

especially when they call you dramatic and an attention seeker whenever you try and convey any kind of negative emotion

Yesss,it's annoying and when I even try to explain they get mad

I really relate to that and it especially sucks because I have trouble conveying my thoughts and emotions in the first place :/

I get scold if I slightly appear sad or depressed... I don’t know why they are like that and I am suffocating. I actually think I have depression... but I have no one to talk about it too, at least no one that would understand

Same,they never try to understand my point of view and how it affects me

I get the whole "there's no reason for you to feel this way, you have everything that you want, a roof over your head etc" or the "people have it worse so stop complaining" or "you always feel this way" sometimes I really wonder if I really feel this way or just want attention

exactly, but sometimes I can't help but think "what if they are right and I am only doing this for attention?" etc it's honestly suffocating

Well I cry when I am alone, i don’t want attention, but sometimes you just cannot hide your feelings... so I do my best not to show them that... I already know they do not care about how I truly feel, I just want to be left alone

yeah but sometimes I can't help but want them to understand, lately my grades have been getting low (I'm usually a straight-A student and I've been getting Fs) and my mom keeps on getting mad at me, my life is also a mess nowadays because of my degrading mental health, sure I can hide my emotions but not the effects...

It is totally normal that you want them to understand, I do too, and that is why it hurts, and makes it worst, cause family should be there so support us, but it is not the case... if I had an understanding family, I am sure I won’t be that depressed

Really,I feel like I could be more confident and do the things I want to.

yeah, if everyone had an understanding supportive family then a lot of the world's problems would be solved

Woah just my thoughts..

It is surely true but no one can truly understand someone even if they try n maybe u already see that...u don't even know who I truly am ..cause in front of my friends n family I am like the most cheerful n friendly person but alone I am lifeless with kinda dead feelings

and then they go like "I would know if something's wrong" like no you wouldn't lmfao

But u can always find ppl to express urself at some point of ur life if ur lucky ....I have a friend who shares everything with me n me too...she is my only true friend more like shit soulmate.....anyway I totally get wut ur saying when ppl don't understand understand ...u should just stop expecting anything from them...that way atleast it won't hurt

I was talking about family, I'm lucky enough to have 4 friends that I can vent to whenever, I'm emotionally attached to them to the point where I'm pretty sure it's unhealthy #－.－)

I can relate 100%

Let’s not loose hope, at least if we have children in the future or if we meet youngsters who are facing what we are facing, maybe we could save lives by giving them the right advices. Fighting everyone

That was my plan if I ever have kids,but I still don't want nun.
