Absolutely block out every word he’s saying. I’m sure it looks fine and if you like it that’s all that matters. Making fun of your *kid (cause I don’t know if you’re a guy or girl; doesn’t matter in the slightest) is very weird and yes HE should feel embarrassed.

@Silence33 Awh man, I have a little sister your age and I’d FIGHT for you. Just know they are coming from a place of ignorance, I’ve been lectured about things that made me feel so insecure growing up (very religious strict Ukrainian parents) and you just have to realize that they are spewing out things they’ve heard growing up. It’s not YOU it’s their fear of how they would be perceived. Try to not let their words in as much, accept that they are not going to like it even if you do. I’m sorry you feel like you’re going through this alone :(

Sorry to hear this. Sounds like they're in some way threatened by you expressing yourself, like they want you to just conform and make things simpler for them. People are strange, could even be they wished they'd rebelled or been a bit different, and they told themselves they couldn't (or were told they couldn't) and now they're putting that on you. It's hard for sure, and legit you find it upsetting. Ultimately noone else can decide your life for you and good on you for trying something you'd like in the face of that. Takes guts

Honestly, i don't have that great of an advice to give you, considering he's from a different generation and most people like him find it really to difficult to move their rigid little minds, but have you tried telling him in a serious voice that this is making you feel awful, that he's hurting you? I mean, sometimes straight up honestly catches people by surprise. Although, this may also be a complete failure depending on the person you're dealing with. If this doesn't work, then theres nothing else other than talking to someone you trust and enduring this toxicity until you become of age and get to leave this house.

Hi
So I was at a family thing yesterday and my ice was bothering me and I kept washing my hands and my family noticed and started making fun of me for it and it was like non stop it made me feel really alone especially since they clearly know something’s up but they just make it worse instead of at least trying to help😕

I feel so humiliated
Yesterday I had a panic attack from OCD fears. I live alone, so in my panic I called my mum just to get some emotional support. It did not go well. I was asking for reassurnce to much and basically she got annoyed with me and started to chastise me. She said I was being ridiculous and accused me of just making up my symptoms to emotionally manipulate her. She even went as far as threatening to call the police on me to have me sectioned. I feel so humiliated. I know that I can be annoying during my panic attacks, and that my OCD puts a massive toll on my familiy. But I don't want to manipulate people. Now, I feel like an abuser. In these moments, seeing how much my weakness makes my family suffer makes me just want to not be here anymore.
