I'm so angry! I feel like my dad especially rejects me, and so does my mom. What should I do? By Anonymous | Published on December 18, 2024

I'm so angry! I feel like my father especially doesn't accept me, and neither does my mother or my grandmother. No matter what I do, they say I'm not good at it. When I ask why, they just stop talking.

I want to be a salesperson and I'm looking for a job. I just got off the phone with a sales supervisor, who said he didn't think I was eloquent enough. He said they all drink and smoke, and my dad said no, no. Then I told the supervisor that I could give it a try, but I hung up.

Then I asked my father why, and he just looked down at his phone and didn't say anything. Haha. I hung up the phone very sad, and let out a loud sigh, and he complained about my sigh.

So? I feel that I can't even sigh when I'm doing a job.

He doesn't work hard, and he just knows how to laze around in a place with a particularly low salary (similar to the salary I applied for). He is weak and unmotivated! And he even stopped me!

I feel like I can't get any acceptance or strength from them. I'm so unlucky to have such a family.

Hello! I'd like to extend a warm hug from afar to you.

It is possible to perceive the effects that your family's rejection and lack of acceptance have had on your body and mind. These effects may include feelings of being misunderstood, a sense of injustice at being rejected, anger, helplessness, and a sense of powerlessness.

I can understand the sense of grievance, anger, helplessness, and powerlessness you feel at this moment. It is natural for children to desire affirmation and support from those they love and trust, as this provides a sense of worth and confidence.

From your description, it seems that you have experienced the negative effects of your family's rejection and lack of acceptance, particularly in your professional life. However, you may have avoided directly expressing your true feelings and needs to them, which could have helped them understand the impact of their words and actions on you.

What are you concerned about? What are you afraid of? If you choose to suppress and hide your true inner emotions and feelings, for example, being rejected again, being disliked, being hit, does it mean that you really are not good enough?

When you are hurt by the people closest to you, and choose to suppress and hide your true emotions, it can be seen that you may be agreeing with and internalizing the way they treat you to a large extent. It may be worth considering whether you believe you are not good enough. What are your thoughts on this?

It is possible that this is the result of a lifetime of experiences. It may be that you have come to believe that you are not good enough, due to a combination of factors. These may include a sense of loyalty and love for your parents, which can lead you to attribute their negative feelings towards you to your own shortcomings. This can have a significant impact on your self-esteem and confidence, particularly when you are young and may feel powerless to change the situation.

Fortunately, you are in a position to benefit from some awareness of these issues, which will enable you to express your true feelings and needs in a constructive manner. This can be done without judging your parents' words or actions, but simply expressing the true feelings in your heart at that moment.

At the same time, you may wish to consider actively learning to accept yourself, cultivating self-confidence, and enhancing your sense of self-worth. This could help you to better heal the emotional and emotional trauma caused by not being accepted by your parents and not being affirmed in your original family, and to become a person who is completely accepting of yourself and confident enough.

My name is Lily, and I'm the little ear of the Q&A Museum. I want to extend my love and appreciation to the world, and I hope you feel the same way.

I understand how frustrating and hurtful this situation must be for you. It seems like you're facing a lot of rejection not just from potential employers but also from your family. I wish you could find the support you need at home, especially when you're trying to pursue your goals.

It's really tough when the people closest to you don't seem to believe in you or your abilities. But remember, their opinions aren't the only ones that matter. You have to believe in yourself and your capabilities. Maybe it's time to look for a support system outside of your family, like friends or mentors who can encourage you.

The sales supervisor's feedback might feel discouraging, but consider it as an opportunity to grow. If being eloquent is something they value, maybe there are ways you can develop those skills further. And as for your dad, it's clear that his silence isn't helping. Try to have an open conversation with him about your aspirations and ask for his honest thoughts without judgment.

Feeling unsupported by your family must be incredibly disheartening. It's important to recognize your own worth and not let others' lack of encouragement define you. Sometimes families have their own struggles which prevent them from being supportive, but that doesn't mean you can't succeed on your own terms.
