your childhood experience with family and friends is very similar to my own.
I was the "black sheep" of the family, with two younger siblings at home, and many cousins I was compared to.
I got into trouble, and, a lot of the time, it was for something I didn't do.
my parents always assumed the worst of me.
it was difficult for me to connect with others socially, because I was a shy introvert, with lots of anxiety and depression from my poor upbringing and crappy environment.
I think I've had 3 or 4 close friends in my entire life :))
mostly, I was interested in boys, because, to make matters even WORSE, I also had a daddy complex due to my father never being around.
ugh.
it's like a lifetime movie, I tell ya.
I will stop there, but, you're not alone.
being around my family is tense and awkward, so I do it on my own terms and conditions.
I LOVE being with my kids, they are my family now.
relatable <3
