I always smile and laugh but I never felt close to anyone especially with by family. A lot of things happened when I was little and as a
Result I felt lonely and afraid ... I think it was since that day on my birthday my mother said I wish you were never born. Since that day all I ever thought about was pleasing everyone. I can't move on at all even tho I feel so lonely I don't know what to do. I've lived to please everyone that's what have turned into. But..... I guess I'm just waitig on someone to say it's ok for u to be here .... I've always waited for someone to say it but of course that's just a faraway dream
Do you think it's normal?

Please get help to overcome what your mother said to you. That is extremely damaging to your self-esteem and self-worth.

You will never truly be happy if you only look to other people for approval. You will keep trying to make people happy and it will never be enough, you'll still feel inadequate and empty.

Security should come from within. Your feelings and moods shouldn't be controlled by other people so much. You will literally go mad.

You are one more example how parents can "go wrong" with their children
No matter if she is your mother you should know that only real friend you have is yourself and you have to be the one who is controlling thing in your life and how they going to be!!You seem like a nice person.Pls stand up for yourself cuz none else will
