Staying to myself as a result of being treated badly

Am I wrong for not wanting to interact with humans and having an innate distrust of people?

I’ve been treated badly by everybody, by family, by kids, by strangers, and by authority figures. Thus, I don’t feel safe in my environment and I turn inward as a result.

I watch YouTube videos as a coping mechanism, even videos that came out 10 years ago. I would immerse myself in pop culture when things got too intense and too harsh.

I don’t see myself working a 9-5 either. Too strenuous and exhausting. Why should I have to work to live?

Black & Brazilian mix - DNA results

I’m mixed, and my DNA results finally helped connect a lot of dots about who I am and where my family comes from. On my mom’s side, my roots trace back to Brazil — a culture shaped by Indigenous, African, and European influences over generations. On my dad’s side, I’m African American, with ancestry tied to the deep and complicated history of Black Americans in the U.S.

Seeing everything laid out in percentages and regions was honestly surreal. It made me realize how much history, migration, survival, and culture can exist within one person. Growing up, I always felt connected to both sides, but the DNA results gave me a deeper appreciation for how layered my identity really is.

Being of two different ethnic backgrounds has always meant balancing different cultures, foods, traditions, and perspectives — and sometimes feeling like I didn’t fully fit into just one box. But these results reminded me that my background isn’t “split”; it’s blended. Every part of it tells a story.

For those who grew up with limited opportunities and pursued education despite the odds, where has that journey taken you?

I’m always inspired by stories of people who started with very little but kept pushing forward anyway. Whether you were the first in your family to attend college, worked while studying, learned through setbacks, or had to create opportunities that didn’t exist for you — your journey matters.

(M20) I’ve noticed that everywhere I go people will either walk up to me and spark a conversation with me, stare, or both. I don’t know why. I’m not the type of person that puts myself on display on purpose.

I’ve been through the depths of hell, at home, at school, and even in public. Thus, I stay as far away from people as much as possible. But people always seem to recognize my presence, even when I’m not trying to make myself loud and known.

I’m confused as to why this happens.

Have guys ever thought that’s it’s good to have kids when your ducks are in a row? For me, when I have kids I would want them to live a life that other kids would dream of having. (Healthy food, clean water, access to good schools, etc etc.)

Because why would I have kids if I can’t come to terms with who I am and what my place in life is? In this country, the U.S.A., parenting is seen as an option. There are kids are often brought up the most degrading circumstances, they feel like they have to build a foundation to survive and that’s not fair.

According to the internet, Part of Fortune being in the tenth house means you “will be placed in positions of power, trust, and authority. You will take this into account as you guide the people around you, even if this involves solving problems about what is right and wrong, because you have inherited a strong sense of morality, religiosity, and discipline in your childhood.” - astrolibrary.org

Does this mean that the individual’s career will consist of being influential to other people?

The Part of Fortune is naturally the point where you experience the most abundance in the lifetime.

And the 10th house is the house of being seen, visible, maybe even well-known. I’m still trying to understand this as I look into astrology.
