Greetings, question asker. I am the individual responsible for providing responses, identified here as "Silverfox."
From your writing, it is evident that you are experiencing a significant degree of pressure, a strong sense of being controlled, and disapproval. I can discern your expression, observe your dedication and hard work, and perceive your resistance.
From your writing, I discern a pervasive sense of pressure, a compelling notion of being controlled, and a discernible disapproval. I perceive your expression, witness your dedication and assiduous efforts, and discern your resistance.
From your writing, I discern a plethora of strong emotions, including a profound sense of love. With regard to the questions you have posed, I believe we can initially address them, and I will also present my own thoughts in the hope of offering you a different perspective.
Let us first examine our experiences.
What have we experienced?
In this context, it is evident that the actions of parents, particularly mothers, often result in feelings of being undermined and invalidated. Additionally, the feelings of alienation and isolation experienced by individuals in this situation are also worth noting. To gain a clearer understanding of these issues, it may be helpful to organize the information in a systematic manner, such as through itemization.
1. A lack of encouragement was experienced, and a sense of living in the shadow of "other people's children" was pervasive.
2. All efforts will be perceived as a reason for denial.
3. A longing for support is met with rejection and suppression.
4. Despite employing a multitude of techniques, success has remained elusive.
Let us consider the underlying factors.
It can be argued that there is a hidden message behind every event and every emotion. It is possible that some of these feelings are ones that have been avoided, but their existence indicates that they are meaningful. In order to gain a deeper understanding of the situation that has just been described, it is necessary to examine what is really going on behind the scenes.
1. The individual in question never received encouragement, and was always living in the shadow of "other people's children." Here, we can see the invisible pressure from "other people's children." It seems that there is always such an existence that cannot be surpassed, and even if one surpasses it, there are countless others.
Concurrently, we must also endure the mistreatment of our parents, which impedes our ability to experience warmth and support. While such a situation may be perceived as motivation by parents, it is a significant burden for us.
2. All efforts will become a reason for rejection. In the daily disparagement of our parents, we are unable to find sufficient support, which inevitably leads to the development of a strong resistance in this situation.
As previously stated, individuals with a penchant for reading tend to possess a diverse array of interests. In contrast, the subject in question engages in leisure reading while remaining idle at home, effectively avoiding the completion of their primary responsibilities. This behavior exemplifies a discernible double standard, which is likely attributable to the individual's level of consciousness. It is, therefore, a quality that may not be readily amenable to alteration.
3. The questioner desired support but instead received rejection and suppression. It can be inferred from her recent experience that she must have felt the pressure of the exam before seeking support from those around her. It is also possible that her mother's influence was a factor in her decision to seek her encouragement.
Thus, when one decides to seek support from one's mother, has one already formed an expectation of being disappointed? Does one's mother's reaction align with this expectation?
4. Despite employing a multitude of strategies, the desired outcome has not been achieved. In this instance, the individual has opted for "reconciliation" over "escape" and has made some efforts. It would appear that a considerable amount of effort has been expended on this family.
It may be beneficial to consider the following questions: What role do we play in the functioning of the family unit? Have we ever contemplated modifying our parents' behavior?
What can be done to address this issue?
First and foremost, it is my hope to find the time to engage in a meaningful dialogue with myself. If circumstances permit, I would like to create a private space and a secure environment in which to gain insight into my self-perception and the experiences that have shaped me.
It seems reasonable to posit that our experiences and efforts over the years of growing up must have had an effect. Perhaps we can have a serious conversation with ourselves about how things happened.
What efforts have been made thus far? In what direction do we wish to see things develop?
To whom do we wish to apply the changes we are striving for?
Subsequently, we will investigate potential avenues for achieving the objective of moving on in a relatively straightforward manner.
1. Remove all the negative labels that parents have applied to you.
In your description, it is evident that your parents have assigned you a multitude of negative labels, including "stupid," "silly," and "not doing your job properly." These labels, which are often self-deprecating, convey a pervasive negation.
If one is subjected to a constant barrage of negative labels, it becomes all too easy to internalize these attacks and to abandon any hope of improvement. It may therefore be necessary for the individual to take the initiative to remove these negative labels from their own self-perception.
2. Accept and comprehend their actions.
It is this author's belief that no parent does not love their child. However, it is possible that they have never learned how to love their child (and perhaps they never will). They engage in behaviors that are detrimental to the child's development, they disregard the child's feelings and needs, and they foster a strong desire in the child to rebel.
It is not uncommon to experience feelings of detachment and even animosity towards one's parents' demeanor. It may not be feasible to persuade our parents or alter their perspective to better comprehend our perspective.
However, it is crucial to prioritize self-care and personal responsibility. It is important to recognize that external factors often limit our ability to influence others. Ultimately, personal transformation and change originate from within.
Perhaps the sole viable option is to view our parents' words and actions through a different lens, eschewing the notion that they are indifferent and transforming resistance into motivation. Undoubtedly, this is a challenging undertaking for those who have been subjected to such circumstances for an extended period. However, adversity can potentially serve as a catalyst for growth.
3. Prioritizing one's actions can facilitate a more straightforward and manageable lifestyle.
Furthermore, individuals may desire to prove themselves to others, particularly given that their parents often encourage them to perform well. In life, everyone seeks to feel valued and, more specifically, to receive care and attention from their parents, which can provide a sense of security and dependence.
However, this is often not feasible, as parents tend to hold negative perceptions of their children, often perceiving them as inadequate and inferior to others. In such cases, it is crucial to identify strategies for coping with these challenges.
It is important to focus on one's own merits and achievements.
It is beneficial to interact with individuals who exude confidence.
It is important to maintain a sense of pride.
It is important to understand one's strengths and limitations in order to optimize one's potential and avoid pitfalls.
It is advisable to establish realistic objectives for oneself.
4. The reordering of familial priorities may result in a reduction of the perceived weight of life's burdens.
It is notable that throughout the course of this discussion, the original poster never mentioned the father. This may be due to the fact that the father's role within the family dynamic appears to be somewhat ambiguous. In a traditional family structure, parents are expected to maintain their parental status, while children are expected to remain in their child role.
Nevertheless, in life, for various reasons, some children will exceed the boundaries of their role and assume the responsibilities and roles typically associated with their parents. When this occurs, it is common for individuals to neglect to acknowledge their emotional experiences. This is when we realize that we may have already developed an identity relationship with our parents that is incongruent with traditional roles (i.e., the child has assumed the role of the parent, or has replaced the role of one of the parents).
In the absence of a clear rationale, the emotional sentiments associated with a dysfunctional relationship are nevertheless objectively valid. If both parties fail to disengage, the emotional burden will inevitably intensify. It may be necessary to acknowledge that each individual has their own life, and that assuming responsibility for another person's actions is neither feasible nor desirable.
One can only be truly responsible for one's own life, and others are responsible for their own joys and sorrows. The optimal course of action is to do one's best, be content, and go with the flow.
When such a boundary is established, even if parental behavior remains largely unchanged, the individual may perceive an increase in their ability to navigate their environment with greater ease. It is possible that by relieving oneself of the onerous burden and discarding the misguided sense of obligation, the experience of life as a relentless pursuit can be transformed into a more serene and contemplative journey.
5. It is recommended that you seek the assistance of a qualified professional.
When confronted with issues stemming from familial relationships, it is often beneficial to seek the guidance of a professional psychological counselor. By employing a systematic and structured approach, it may be possible to facilitate a more expedient resolution to these challenges.
PS: 1xinyi will also periodically conduct public welfare counseling initiatives to alleviate internal emotions and reduce stress through counseling.
In response to the challenges posed by family and academic demands, individuals may resort to various coping mechanisms, including complaining, confrontation, or seeking alternative means of resolution. Here, one can find a supportive community of enthusiastic and kind individuals, as well as a cadre of professional listeners and counselors, who are equipped to provide guidance and assistance.
Following this series of explorations, you may have identified solutions that are personally meaningful to you.
It is my hope that these insights will prove beneficial to those navigating challenging circumstances.
It is my hope that these insights will prove beneficial to those navigating challenging circumstances.
I hope that all goes well for you and that you continue to improve.
I extend my affection to the world and to all of you.

It sounds like you've been through a lot with your family, especially with your mom. It's really tough when the encouragement you need is replaced with negativity. I can see how hard it must be for you to keep trying despite all that.
I can imagine how painful and discouraging it feels not to receive support from someone who should be your biggest cheerleader. It's frustrating when you're met with doubt instead of encouragement at every turn.
Your efforts to reconcile show a lot of strength and patience on your part. It's heartbreaking that even after all these attempts, things haven't improved. Maybe seeking help from a professional could offer new strategies or insights for bridging that gap.
It's clear you're striving for a healthier relationship with your mother and family. Sometimes changing one's own approach can only go so far. Perhaps engaging in family therapy could provide a neutral ground where everyone can express their feelings and work towards understanding each other better.
The lack of encouragement must be incredibly disheartening, especially when you're reaching out for support during important moments in your life. It's vital to find sources of positivity and affirmation elsewhere while continuing to work on improving the situation at home.
