I would spend more time outside your family house . Play dates , coffee shops , parks and soft play . Save up for a home whilst still at your parents
One thing for sure you seem to be aware of what's causing you to feel this way just try to figure out the best way to overcome it , hopefully you'll get your own place it makes a huge difference, you can do this MAMA xx
To feel confident you have to be challenging yourself and overcoming challenges. Things like learning a new skill, meeting up with girls on this app, learning a language, starting the gym - anything! Is the only way to boost your confidence your mind will feel great that it pushed you out of your comfort zone.
After that it’s kind of like a cycle.. you radiate more positivity and others like having you around or want to be around you more. Remember to make others feel good when you are around them. Also get yourself some headphones and blast feel good music or a good podcast about confidence or anything else that interests you… hope this helps. I wish my husband would come live with my parents we would save so much more money he just won’t.
How could I forget! Your siblings comments is a big one. Perhaps it’s the energy you’re radiating too. If you were helping around the house, laughing or playful, baking some lovely desserts for everyone to share, taking an interest in their lives asking questions, letting them talk to you about personal things.. I doubt they would be making those comments. And if they still were… SO ?! That’s what siblings do sometimes we moan about each other? Let your siblings talk, it’s your parents too, you are allowed their support as much as they will need all of your support in the future… Staying together is the best thing… it’s how it’s supposed to be. The comments are only upsetting if you let them be… In a jokey way I’d be addressing it like “so I heard yalll been talkkkking shxt” ☝🏽☝🏽☝🏽 “wait till you guys have kids and you need my helpppp” but say it smiling.. if it’s still bad perhaps get a static caravan thingy you can get a nice one for £3k on Facebook marketplace :)
Dress up, put some makeup on (if you wear makeup) go for a walk in the park or go for a coffee, it’ll help you mentally. Then when you’re ready ask your friends or siblings to join you. Staying in the house, especially in one room, will drive you crazy🥺
I’ll start by saying that you absolutely deserve to feel happy again. I’m so sorry to hear that you’re struggling and know that you are not alone. In times of depression or anxiety, I find that talking to a therapist has helped me.
