Being talked over
My parents have this thing they do where I’ll be talking and they’ll say something over me, basically having their own conversation and I know they don’t care what I had to say bc after they finish they won’t even ask me to repeat myself. I’m just staring at them in disbelief and walk away extremely hurt. It’s like they don’t respect me or anything I have to say. They’ve done this for years. Before they used to actually ask what I said and I would just say forget it, but now they don’t even ask. It makes me feel like I don’t matter and I have no voice. They don’t think my thoughts and opinions have value so it really takes a toll on my self worth bc I feel like acceptance, support, love, and interest from your parents is so important so when you don’t get that you question your place in the world. Being a middle child who gets treated a certain way while my siblings are treated normally doesn’t help. Anyone else struggle with self worth bc of your parents?
