The story

I can’t do this anymore. I don’t know why I’m like this. I just got out of another conversation with my parents and the moment they said “you go to church and you lie” I just got emotional and ran away. And marched into my room screaming. Unfortunately I have a problem with telling people the truth to my parents but I don’t do it out malicious I don’t because I’m scared.

I’m scared of being an adult

I’m scared of getting a license

And I’m scared of living alone

But why

Why can’t anyone understand me?

I feel like a monster because that’s all I am

A big giant no driving lying monster.

Sometimes I wonder what happened if I just never existed. Would Everything be different would everyone be happy.

Because I’m the problem cans I can’t even fucking save myself.

Hey there, it sounds like you're really going through a lot, and I just want to say I hear you. It's tough when it feels like everyone’s constantly misunderstanding where you're coming from. Trust me, I’ve been there too, feeling overwhelmed by the expectations of adulthood. I remember when I was worried about getting my license; the fear of messing up and not being independent was so real.


But let me tell you something: you're definitely not a monster. We all have our struggles, and lying out of fear is more common than you think. It’s part of learning and growing, not something that defines your character permanently. Life's challenges can feel daunting, but taking one step at a time really helps. Reflecting on your feelings and talking about them is a big step toward finding peace. I hope you give yourself some grace and remember that you are not alone in this journey. 💪

Hey, I really get where you're coming from, but I think you might be too hard on yourself; everyone makes mistakes, and it's all part of growing up. Remember, nobody has everything figured out. We all deal with being scared about adulting stuff. I used to think I was the only one scared of living alone, but once you face those fears, things start to change.

You’ve got to give yourself some credit for being self-aware and wanting to change. That’s already huge; “Every day may not be good, but there is something good in every day.” Keep pushing forward, and try talking to your parents calmly about how you feel when the time is right. You’re not a monster; you're just trying to find your way. 😊

Wow, dude, that sounds seriously rough and I totally feel you. It's super tough when people can't understand where you're coming from, especially your parents. Like, what's up with that??? I swear, I've had those nights where I'm thinking, "Why did I even bother trying?" It's like being stuck in this endless loop of stress and confusion, am I right?


You're not this "big giant no driving lying monster" you think you are; that's just some dramatic nonsense your brain's throwing at you. We all mess up, tell little lies, or feel like we're not measuring up sometimes. It's just part of being human!! You’ve got fears about growing up and all, but guess what? So does everyone else! Once, I was convinced I’d never get my driver's license and here I am, cruising along just fine. Things get better, promise. Keep your head up and just take it one step at a time. 💪

hey, i get you're feeling all mixed up, but chill a bit. you're not a monster. sounds like a lot of pressure is piling up, and honestly, we’ve all had those moments 🙄. lying out of fear isn't ideal, but it happens. adult stuff is scary, no doubt.


but thinking you're the problem won't help, you know? everyone faces fears and worries about life, so you're not alone 😅. maybe try chatting with your parents with some chill vibes, set it straight. be kind to yourself, mate. things can get better.

hey, i get that you’re feeling like you're in a tough spot, but don't be so hard on yourself. everyone lies sometimes, especially when they're scared; it's human nature. it’s not like you’re trying to hurt anyone, right?

yeah, growing up is scary, no doubt. but you've got to remember that everyone deals with these fears at some point. i used to freak out about living alone, but honestly, it turned out to be the most liberating thing ever!! "the only thing we have to fear is fear itself," or something like that. give yourself some slack and just take baby steps. you've got this 💪

I hear you, and it sounds like you're dealing with a lot right now. It's completely understandable to feel overwhelmed by adult responsibilities; everyone feels that way at some point. Your fears about growing up are super common, and feeling like a "monster" isn't unusual when you're under pressure. It doesn't make those feelings any less valid, though.


Honestly, those conversations with your parents seem really intense; it's no wonder you're feeling emotional. Being scared doesn't make you less capable; it just means you're aware of the challenges ahead. Hang in there! Things have a way of working themselves out when you least expect it. 💪
