I'm Stupid (Hurt)

I wish people wouldn't be so mean even without trying. Especially when its your own mother.

Saying things like "She's stupid"  "She doesn't know anything" "Oh,how will you take care of yourself when you get older because of that stupidness."

She says I'm stupid yet expects me to work in the medical field. How does that connect?

 

No wonder I never get any difficult chores. She thinks I'm stupid and don't know how to do it.

Whenever she needs an extra hand she asks my older sister and if she needs more she goes to me and explains to me in a dumb explanation:"so you go to the garage and then find..no you're not gonna get it...let me go get it instead."

When I ask her why she won't explain it normally she says is because I'm stupid and never know what to find.

 

Whenever I cry for things like that she tells me to man up.

It's no wonder I have a hard time trying to express my feelings.

I'm afraid of being religious and participate, I'm afraid of helping poor people, I'm afraid of sharing personal feelings and thoughts because everyone is just like my mom:heartless.

 

I just wish to be taken seriously and not mentally ill.

Oh my dear friend
You are not stupid
No one has the right to call you stupid.

Sometimes, people tend to say things they don't mean.
Don't take it to your heart...

No you're not stupid. All you need is some chances. Dont you ever feel lowly of yourself. Do your very best in everything then one day she'l realized her mistake. You're hurt so you should definately expressed it as well. People shouldnt take anyone for granted . I hope that you'l slowly gained your own confidence . Stay strong k. Try read some self help books to stay motivated and positive.

First of all, you aren't stupid. I'm sorry that someone who is an important part of your life is so cruel as to say as much to you. She doesn't have a right to treat you like that especially since she is your mother.

Second, you shouldn't be afraid to express yourself and it upsets me that you feel that way. Your situation hits very close to home for me because it happened to me as well, except it was my dad that did that to me.

Everyone is different and I cannot tell you what to do. You have to find it in yourself how to handle your situation. For me, I finally had enough and decided that I didn't care what he thinks about me. I know that I am smart and if he doesn't see it, then fine. I adopted an attitude that I would prove him wrong and I did.

I don't have a relationship with my dad at this point. I don't see him and I don't talk to him because he is unhealthy for me to be around. But I want you to know that whatever you decide to do, always do what's best for YOU and put your wellbeing first. Your mother is obviously missing out on what a great person you are and it's her loss.
