What should a person do when her own family doesn't understand her? Being born in a conservative family I was never able to live my life the way I wanted. Also I've seen my parents quarrelling from childhood till now. It has always affect me because seeing others family happily together and not mine sucks. It's not they don't love me but they don't understand me , they don't even know what actually makes me happy. I don't want big things I want the simple little things which I get to see every other person is having in their life. Even after getting a job I don't have much freedom in my life and it sucks. It's sometimes very difficult to overcome this anxiety. I wish someone was there to make them understand because they don't understand my words and now I'm in a condition where I'm hardly able to speak up. I can't open up anymore and it feels very heavy inside. I don't know what to do.
