My family won't talk to me

@chaski Said

You can pick your friends, but you are stuck with your family.

Find a friend or counselor to talk to.

If you don't like their response you can walk away and find someone else.

Take it from someone who did this for years....

Talk to a counselor. They really do help. I thought for the longest time that talking didn't help anything, however...just talking and hearing the different scenarios played out...(outside of my own head) and the view of someone else, that had no involvement daily in my life, it made it easy to understand his points of views and not just be clouded by my own points of views.

Make sense?

@Dark_Tink Said

For this member, it would take an extreme amount of counseling for it to help. She/he makes posts after posts about ridiculous things to get attention.

They also post the same thing on many, many, many sites.

IMO, the poster doesn't actually go through these things, but just makes them up to get a reaction...and like fools we all respond to the threads.

@Drgnfly83 Said

Ahhh good to know. Now I know not to post to these dramatized threads. I was really just trying to give some advice. Damn attention whores. LOL

@Dark_Tink Said

If they were actual problems, especially this thread, myself and many others(you included as per your previous post) would be glad to help out with suggestions.

@Drgnfly83 Said

Oh yeah. I have noticed that about this site. Lots of people willing to give advice, myself included.

Its sad that people have to be attention whores in this way...where they really don't need the help nor want the help...just want attention.

That burns me. I take time to really think about responses to stuff like this and put my personal information out there and rl stories about what has happened in my life, and for what....for an attention whore....

Grrrrr.......

No one in my family would talk to me. Why?
I have stuff I worry about that I need to get off my chest. Yet, they refuse to talk to me at all and want nothing to do with me. They even put me down and stuff. I had to beg to be acknowledged and even then, I get brushed aside. They said it gives them a headache to deal with me. Therefore, they talk to everyone else but me. I'm just worried about work related stuff although irrationally.

No.

@BozieFozie Said

And this thread makes HOW many this poster has started regarding all sorts of crap!!!

@chaski Said

No?

@someone_else Said

No, thank you? I'd rather not have anyone from the internet find me.

@chaski Said

I'm confused.

I just meant the poster of the topic should find someone to speak to... not their family.

I wouldn't want anyone on the internet either.

Sorry if I said something wrong.
