the title sounds a bit harsh but idk how else to phrase it.

my dad works really hard at work and is the breadwinner for the family so he definitely pulls his weight. he does some cleaning around the house too.

it's just that in the past few years as he's gotten older he's become more close-minded and overly-reliant on my mom for basic things. he doesn't know how to use the airfryer in our house. he always asks her to explain basic things to him, yesterday asking for help on how to check in for our upcoming flight on the delta app. stuff that a grown person should be able to figure out on their own .

he never rlly knows whats going on even tho we tell him, he's always clueless about the stuff that needs to get done around the house and related to my school

i watch a lot of relationship videos on tiktok and frankly this type of husband who is burdensome on the wife and makes her carry the mental load for the household is my worst fear when i grow up.

ik he's trying his best tho so it feels wrong that im slowly losing respect for him bc of the way he is as a husband.

any thoughts?

I am 18F graduating high school soon from a good school and will attend a t25 college in the fall. nothing in my life is terribly wrong but I've never really felt consistently happy since I was like 10 years old.

is this normal for teenagers? i just feel like my friends and classmates are overall happier and more confident than me.

i feel fine for the most part when with friends and family but when im alone i just feel like i hate myself. i have lots of insecurities which i wont get into and have attempted to try therapy but it's just so difficult for me to open up to a stranger.

im not sure if i have high functioning depression or something. there are lots of times especially during the weekends where I'll just think about who I am and want to crawl in a hole and die due to shame.

im not even an outcast at school or anything im a pretty normal girl from the outside. i am median level attractive bc i put effort into makeup and outfits but i want to start working out to feel better from the inside. i also have high screen time so i should prob work on that too. i just struggle with my self perception alot and others' opinons.

ik this is a pretty vague post, im just hoping life gets better and im scared for my mental health in college. any advice ?
