My parents basically told me that I am either bland or depressed. Help!?
I honestly don't always feel comfortable talking to my parents. To me, they are the bland ones. They don't really do much all day except for watch TV or work on the computer. I don't want to make any excuses, but I feel like I just never related very well to my parents, though I get along well with my sister. When I talk to my parents, I end up feeling upset because they often don't express the type of unconditional support that I feel parents ought to. They are very quick to judge and scold me, even if something is not really my fault. Believe me, I would love to be able to get along better with my parents. I have friends who are constantly skyping with their parents when they're apart, but I just don't feel the same type of affection towards my parents. My parents are first-generation, pretty strict, and I just feel like a lot of times, they have deprived me of things I feel I should have gotten. For example, my parents wouldn't let me go to prom and they didn't let me go to semi-formal events mostly because they didn't think buying a dress was practical since I would only wear it once. Things like that kind of got me angry. I know that my parents mean well, but I also think that if I were the parent, I would have done things differently.
