Naamah D. Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 I feel like I can't be what other people want me to be. I recently talked about being a florist at school, but I changed my mind and decided to go back to retail. With a retail job like working at Target(that's actually my dream job), I can wear a uniform so when coworkers and my boss see me outside of work, there will be no shock, dirty looks, and I won't ruin the company's reputation. My mom serves no help either. My mom and I have a horrible relationship. She's not abusive, but she talks to my brother about everything and anything. She helps my brother solve his problems. She talks to my brother about his interest. My mom doesn't do crap to help me. Sometimes I honestly feel like she favors my brother. I have nobody. I recently suffered a very painful breakup and am still suffering. I just need to be Naamah. I need to be average, MallGoth Naamah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khaos Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 I'm really sorry to hear :sad01_anim: So, you can't work because you'll get dirty looks, and when you wear a uniform, you don't feel.. yourself? have you tried looking for a job where you can be yourself? somewhere were people want you to be.. you? i have such horrible advice omg And you don't have nobody, you can always turn to the folks here on TDN, and you can PM me if you want as well. I wish you the best! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karmacow Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Sorry, Naamah :( Before I moved out, I didn't have a great relationship with my parents either. I think they didn't know how to handle me. The years before I moved out weren't great for me - not my parents' fault, although I could have used their support, I was just in a bad place. They just didn't understand what was going on with me, and I'm not sure I did either. Don't know if this is something you recognise. Do you ever come to your mom with things you want to talk about? Not saying that it's your responsibility to carry the relationship, because it definitely shouldn't be solely up to you. But maybe in order to get her to pay attention to you, you need to poke her a little and let her know that you'd actually like to talk. If this is what you want.
