I told my mom that i didn't want to go to an amusement park because it gave me anxiety and she just shrugged and made me go anyways.

Being misgendered, i dont even mention it to my family anymore but it hurts like a kick in the stomach every time 😞 pronouns are a small thing to ask for but make a huge difference

Same. Whenever i used to try to talk to my mom she uses She/Her pronouns for me on purpose. I haven't talked to her in three years and i cam out around five years ago. Everyone was supportive except her and my littlest sister.

I'm gonna take this one literally.
After I got out of hospital and therapy, I got my first job. It's was stressed upon my to make a good impression. Don't complain about anything, don't talk back.
So my first day in the warehouse, things going great until about 2 hours before the end of the day. The boss lowers a pallet of brochures on my foot!
I didn't say a word! I hobbled around for the last few hours and went to the hospital after work. I'd broken 2 toes and fractured a few in the mid foot area (I can't remember the name of the bones but I wanna say metatarsals...).
I was cast up and went to work the next day, told the boss I did it after work.

"It's not a big problem... Why you're so sensitive?"

Perhaps it is not a big problem for them. But it is for me...

Mine sounds a little lame in comparison to the others I’ve read, but once I got a B on an assignment and my mom told my that “These are not (Vibe Check) grades”. I always try to do my best and that honestly crushed my motivation for a while.

Tons of things my dad use to say about me. Once I was going through a lot, had depression, was suicidal, and I would cry a lot, and I also had speech problem, so it was hard to talk to my parents about it. Well one day, I was crying bc I was depressed, going through a lot, dad just assumed I was just being a big baby, he made me go to my room, I cried even more, they had dinner without me, and I heard my dad saying to my brother "Don't be like her. She will end up homeless and no one wants to help her" Hearing him say that made everything worse. I lost my trust in my dad and couldn't even make the effort to tell him bout what was really going on. I was crying so much that night and wanted to talk to my friends so much about what happened, but hearing my dad say that No one wants to help me, it made me lose my trust in my friends to and wonder if they actually were my friends. I finally told one friend, turns out he was going through sorta the same thing, he was very supportive too.

i can relate, i came back from my grandparents at the end of the summer and i had gotten my first choker at hot topic, and the first thing my dad said was "what pet shop did you get that from?" even before saying hi or how was your flight- i ran to my room and cried for a few hours

"If you don't talk to people, they might think you're snobby and you think you're above them." I'm just a really quiet person and I'm not trying to seem snobby. I guess I can't even be a shy person right..😔

Hey, it's okay. I used to be a shy person. I still am. So I can relate.

My ex broke up with me two weeks after I suffered a late miscarriage.
His words: If it hadn't happened, we would have been alright.

A few years later I'm doing much better in myself but at the time those words ripped me to shreds.
