You're not alone.

I grew up with parents who just wanted a normal kid, and a brother who just wanted a normal sibling. I couldn't be that, and they hated me for it. A few months ago I made it clear that I wasn't going to tolerate being treated like trash. My family disowned me, and according to my mother, I'm no longer her son.

I never had any real friends through middle school and high school. I always felt like a leper, and people treated me that way. I didn't even have 3 non-family contacts for the student loans application. (That was depressing.)

After a mental breakdown, several trips to the mental hospital (anxiety/depression), I'm starting to work through this, but it's a slow process. I know I deserve more. I want to have a family, and to get back in school. It's just that some days, I'm putting everything I have into simply holding on.

I just wanted to say that for anyone else out there having troubles, you're not alone. We may not be in the same situation, but the feelings are similar. I just hope that nobody gives up. It wouldn't do ourselves justice.

you are among friends now.

Indeed. You'll always find support here.

We can be friends here, and help can be offered and given.

Welcome to Wrongplanet Pandoran-March, and I hope at this moment you feel some comfort.

You are right, and we must not give up.

We are friendly here and we can support one another, and I wish you good health and a nice day.

Welcome.

I've had similar feelings, growing up. My parents were trying to make me normal, not to talk about my special interests. That's why I talk about them, here. They wanted a normal firstborn daughter, who looked female, and had an inner passion, for the opposite gender. They ended up with a masculine woman, with no sex drive, who looks and acts like an innocent male celebrity, from the 1960s. They wanted a perfect Canadian. They ended up with a displaced Cockney, complete with a Cockney accent. I became accepted as I am, just recently.

(((((Pandoran-March)))))) I feel for you. Its not my family who have made me feel this way, but the world.

Good post. I second it. I hope nobody gives up too. And you are not alone either.

Thank you for all the supporting responses.

This is definitely seems like a good place to post. The entire atmosphere is very friendly, and while there are quirks, and everyone has their own sets of problems, what part of the web isn't like that?

I'm glad to be here.

Sorry to hear that. It really bothers me how much people can suck, even family. At least you're a survivor. I don't think I would have.
