Hello, question asker! I'm Jiang 61, and I'm here to help.
Thank you so much for reaching out to us with your question. We're here to help! It's so great that you're willing to share your confusion with us so that we can help you find answers. We're ready to hear from you! You've asked, "My child is depressed at home, complaining about why she was born to suffer, how do I respond?"
"After reading your brief introduction, I understand the confusion you are experiencing. Let's discuss it together, my friend."
1. Introduction
1️⃣, Complaining
You said, "My child is depressed at home, complaining that she has nothing, that she is not pretty, that she doesn't have a perfect appearance, that there is no endless money at home, no clever mind, and no friends. Why did you bring her into this world, when some people are born with everything?"
I can see you're struggling with your child's depression. It's so hard when our kids are unwell, isn't it? I'm here to listen and help in any way I can. You said, "My child is depressed at home, complaining that she has nothing, that she is not pretty, that she doesn't have a perfect appearance, that there is no endless money at home, no clever mind, and no friends. Why did you bring her into this world, when some people are born with everything?" It's so sad when our kids feel like this. I'm wondering if there's something going on at home that's causing this?
It's so sad to see a child feeling depressed at home, complaining that they have nothing and feel very inferior. It really makes you wonder what might have caused this poor child to lose their self-confidence and only see problems.
I have a question for you.
The child's question is a great one. She's asking a lot of questions! It makes me wonder, why did you bring her into this world? Why wasn't she born with everything just like everyone else?
2. Opinion
You said, "In fact, she is at least above average in our eyes, and our family's conditions are above average in our area. She might not be listening to what we say, and it's okay if she doesn't think she can change anything through hard work."
Perception
From what the questioner said, it seems like she's not totally happy with her child's appearance or her family's situation. It's understandable! In our minds, we see ourselves as middle to upper class.
It can be tough to persuade others, can't it?
It can be tough to convince others of something we're not totally confident in ourselves. This is the situation my daughter is currently in. She sees everything about herself as a problem, so it's hard for her to believe that she can change everything through hard work.
3️⃣. No response
You said, "I'm not sure how to respond to her."
From what the questioner said, it seems like she understands what her daughter is saying. But it's not easy to come up with the right words to help our daughter see that everything in life is changeable.
2. Let's figure out why this is happening
1️⃣, Relationship with self
Let's talk about your relationship with yourself.
When we're talking about our relationship with ourselves, we're really talking about our understanding and acceptance of our identity, value, abilities, and emotional state. This relationship is the core and foundation of all other interpersonal relationships, and it determines how we perceive ourselves, how we interact with others, and how we deal with the external world.
It involves several aspects, including self-identity, love and dependence, emotional transference, inner peace and love, and self-realization.
? Problems
From what the original poster said, it seems like your daughter might be having a bit of trouble with her self-perception. It's totally normal for kids to have ups and downs, but it sounds like she might be having a rough time seeing her own strengths and abilities right now.
This can then affect her emotions and relationships with others.
2️⃣, Family Education and Living Environment
The original family
The original family is the one you were born and raised in. It's so important to understand how the atmosphere, traditions, and customs of this family affect you. The role models for children in the family and the interactions between family members all play a part in how children will behave in their new family in the future.
The impact of education and life experiences
It's possible that the questioner isn't aware that the reason the child only sees their own problems is related to our usual family education and interactions.
I think it's fair to say that the questioner usually pays more attention to the child's shortcomings and makes more negative comments, which can lead the child to perceive themselves as average in terms of appearance and grades. We rarely encourage children to pay more attention to their strengths and areas of excellence, which can result in a lack of self-confidence.
Oh, poor thing! Why on earth did you bring me into this world to suffer?
3️⃣, Comparison psychology
Let's talk about comparison psychology!
The psychology of comparison is something we all do from time to time. It's our natural tendency to compare our own advantages, disadvantages, achievements, status, and so on with others. We do this to evaluate ourselves and figure out where we stand in the world.
This psychological phenomenon isn't just about comparing ourselves to other people. It also includes comparing ourselves to who we used to be and who we want to be in the future.
It affects
It's so common for both the questioner and her daughter to compare themselves with others. We often compare our shortcomings and the challenges of our family with the strengths of others and their privileged backgrounds, which can lead to negative emotions and a strong sense of inferiority. This can make it difficult for the questioner to deal with some of her child's problems.
3. What to do
A child's lack of self-awareness can cause some pretty big problems, as we can see from the original question. So, when we're responding to her, it's really important to recognize and accept her, affirm her strengths, and show her her own advantages.
And help her to start by understanding herself, building self-confidence, improving self-awareness, and establishing a harmonious relationship with herself. In this way, she can gradually change her self-perception and establish a good relationship with others. Here are some specific methods:
1️⃣, Understand yourself
It's so important to understand yourself!
Knowing yourself is all about having a deep and thorough understanding of who you are. This includes your character, interests, strengths and weaknesses, areas of expertise, abilities, and even your thoughts, language, and behavioral habits.
It's so important to build self-confidence!
We love and support our kids, cheering them on as they discover their strengths, explore their talents, and build their confidence. We encourage them to choose projects that make use of their unique skills and abilities, and to share their gifts with the world.
2️⃣, improve self-awareness
Self-awareness is so important!
Self-awareness, also known as self-knowledge or self, is a pretty complex psychological phenomenon with lots of different dimensions and levels. It's made up of three different psychological components: self-knowledge, self-experience, and self-control. These three components are all connected and work together to form a unified sense of self-awareness in each of us.
Let's work together to improve your self-awareness!
We start by helping children enhance their self-awareness, improve their self-perception, self-observation, self-analysis, and self-criticism.
In terms of self-experience, we can really enhance our self-experience by increasing self-awareness, self-love, self-esteem, self-care, self-deprecation, a sense of responsibility, a sense of duty, and a sense of superiority.
In terms of self-control, we work on strengthening our awareness of independence, autonomy, self-control, self-improvement, self-defense, self-discipline, and so on. This helps us improve our ability to control ourselves.
When we become more aware of ourselves, we can see our own strengths, embrace them, build self-confidence, and motivate ourselves, control ourselves, find the best version of ourselves, and make even greater progress.
3️⃣, Nurture a loving relationship with yourself.
Self-identity is so important! It's the foundation of a friendly relationship with yourself. When you understand and trust your identity, value, and abilities, you can build a great relationship with yourself.
Self-identity is the foundation of a friendly relationship with ourselves. It's all about understanding and trusting our identity, value, and abilities.
It's so important to establish a harmonious relationship with yourself!
We tell our daughter that the first step to building a happy, healthy relationship with herself is to love herself just as she is, to recognize her own strengths and weaknesses, and to develop a close, supportive relationship with herself. This is the foundation for all other relationships.
It doesn't matter how she gets along with her classmates, family, and friends. What matters most is that she has a good relationship with herself. When we have a good relationship with ourselves, we can eliminate various emotions such as anxiety and inferiority.
And it'll help you feel more relaxed about other problems, too!
And the same goes for the questioner! While helping her daughter, she is also re-acquainting herself and building a relationship with her child. We inspire our children, and we inspire ourselves to progress and grow!
It's so wonderful when we can help our children progress by growing ourselves. It's a wonderful, mutually reinforcing process of growing together!
I really hope the poster and her child make great progress together!


Comments
I hear you, and it's really tough to see someone we care about feeling this way. Maybe what she needs now is just someone to listen without trying to fix things right away.
It sounds like she's going through a really hard time and feels inadequate. Sometimes sharing our own struggles might help her realize she's not alone in feeling this way.
She might be comparing herself too much to others, which can be really damaging. We could try to redirect her focus on her unique qualities and the things that make her special.
Perhaps engaging her in activities that don't revolve around appearance or material things could help shift her mindset. Finding joy in simple moments can sometimes make a big difference.
It's important to remind her that value doesn't come from what we have or how we look, but from who we are as people. Building selfworth from within is crucial.
