things I don’t know where to post.

All very real and many are recent experiences I’ve been thru

- When people call you out in a group before discussing the issue with you in private to see if it was a misunderstanding and to fix the issue together

- Being the bigger person and the leader when your leader won’t especially when that seemed to be the cause of the issue in the first place

- Gaslighting

- People getting mad when I try and ask why to understand

- Wondering if I’m the issue but not being able to ask knowing that no matter what the answer is they will say yes

- Being treasured the same as the kids when you move back home as an adult

- When parents call makeup to much because it’s not a natural look or saying they didn’t have to do all that to look good or laughing when someone mentions that your face looks caked on

- Call a cropped tank you wore to get wet a bikini

- when people comment on how much you are eating or how you communicate and trying to parent you when they are the same age as you

- Being ditched

- People asking you to fix their issues on your own or at least offer support without asking what they may need

-Feeling like a failure for not understanding how bad your mental health would affect you and not knowing how to handle it after trying to function normally on your own and ignore it for your whole life

- Feeling like you are being guilt tripped for all of a sudden falling of track and trying to find your way back on your own but not knowing how or being their yet and because of this not trusting to ask them to help

Ok I’m sorry my rant is done but hopefully some parents can help give me insight on whether maybe I truly am in the wrong and need to fix myself and get back on track and be the good child again who follows all rules handed no questions asked again and not really express myself any more or am I being over dramatic again

You're 19 aren't you? So not a child, so you really don't need to get back on track to be that good child you describe as you are not one, you are a teenager/young adult and have your own thoughts and ways that may not always be agreed with, may not always be deemed right or acceptable but as long as you aren't out there hurting others/yourself in multitudes of negative ways, then it is nobody else's business to make you feel you maybe need to be that good child, one that you no longer are as a teenager/young adult. And nobody should be treating you as a child, or expecting you to conform in the ways that are expected of children/of a child. Of course if you want that, then that's your personal choice and own decision as a older teenager/young adult who is most definitely no longer a child. Nobody should be trying to convince you that you should be conforming in ways expected of a child/children. We do all change, we do all grow up, but despite us all growing up/aging, many never mentally mature up!
