my emotions are immature
The story
I am unable to express myself, and as a result, people misunderstand me, calling me weird or crazy.
Nobody understands me. Since childhood, I have always just been myself, but my emotional growth is stunted because I grew up in a very volatile environment.
I rarely got my parents' help when I needed it; I had to solve my own problems, feeling like I had no support. I sometimes cry, thinking about how lonely I feel inside.
I've realized that people will only give you attention and care if you are providing them with benefits.
Truly, I crave a little love. I envy people who were lucky enough to grow up in a good, happy, or at least an emotionally sound environment.
Now, I feel I can never understand certain emotions, such as making bonds over time. I had some nightmare-inducing experiences in childhood that prevent me from having certain emotions.
As of today, I want to grow, but I don't know how. Whenever I ask anyone for help, they either leave me, laugh, or just talk behind my back about how naive and witless I am.

Hey, I just wanna say that it's totally okay to feel lost and misunderstood; life's a wild ride sometimes, and it can get pretty overwhelming. But don't lose hope, you'll find your tribe eventually!
man, i'm so sorry to hear what you've been through... sounds like a real rough situation to grow up in 😢 but dude, lemme tell you, you're not alone in feeling this way!! seriously, tons of folks feel misunderstood and crave the love they didn’t get as kids. i had a buddy who went through something similar, and he found that joining groups IRL with similar interests really helped him connect with others. maybe finding people who share your hobbies or passions could be a rad start?? always remember, self-expression can sometimes take practice and patience! keep hanging in there!!!
have you considered if your past experiences have shaped a unique perspective that others might eventually appreciate?
Man, that totally resonates with me 😔. Growing up in a difficult home environment can really mess with you; it's like you're stuck trying to piece yourself together without the proper tools. Honestly, I felt so alone for years because I never really knew how to connect with people. Even now, sometimes I'm just sitting there wondering what 'normal' even looks like 🤷♂️... It's tough, but maybe try finding small steps towards understanding your emotions: like journaling or talking to someone who gets it. You deserve love and support too!
It is profoundly disheartening to hear your plight, truly a testament to the capriciousness of life... It seems as if emotional intelligence and resilience could become a herculean endeavour when nurtured in tumultuous environments. 😥
honestly, i get that feeling like people only care if there’s something in it for them! it's frustrating, but maybe they just don't see the real you yet 🤔.
hey, i get how difficult it must be to feel like you’re constantly misunderstood and isolated; it's tough when emotional development is hampered by a chaotic upbringing. it seems like you're resilient though since you’ve recognized these patterns in your life, which is already a huge step towards change; maybe exploring therapy or counseling could provide an unbiased space to untangle these emotions and learn to build those connections you crave. remember, understanding yourself better can be the foundation for fostering relationships in the future.
I understand the frustration you're experiencing, but could it be that focusing on self-development might yield better results than seeking validation from others?
Yo, sorry but I gotta disagree a bit here 🤷♀️. It sounds like you're focusing too much on the negatives and expecting people to treat you badly. But honestly, that's just gonna keep bringing you down! Have you ever thought about visiting a therapist or something??? They might help you figure out how to express yourself better and understand your emotions. Also, what's stopping you from trying new hobbies or meeting new people? Sometimes trying different things can open up doors you didn't even know existed!!! Keep pushing forward, man! 🌟
i genuinely empathize with your situation; the struggle to communicate one's true self often leads to feelings of profound isolation and misunderstanding...
the struggle to express yourself is real, especially when your foundation was shaky, but have you thought about channeling that energy into a creative outlet; sometimes art or writing can be cathartic and help bridge the gap between isolation and understanding, and remember, self-compassion is crucial for healing.
It appears that you've had to deal with a lot on your own, which can really make you feel isolated and misunderstood; maybe exploring creative outlets or hobbies could be an avenue for self-expression and connection with like-minded people who appreciate your uniqueness.
so you reckon everyone needs to grow up in a perfect lil' bubble, huh??? maybe it's not about them ridiculing you?? could be more about how you're interpreting things, ya know???? life ain't a straight line!!!!! sure, childhood might've been rough, but who says that defines your whole damn story???? try shifting focus from what others think to building skills that help express yourself better... communication ain't some fancy art only for the 'haves'... practice makes perfect, or somethin’ like that!!!!!
maybe the root of the whole thing is your perception, not necessarily reality?? sounds harsh, but stewing in negative thoughts can cloud everything!!! it’s tough when you've had a rocky start, sure, but have you considered throwing yourself into an activity where success depends more on effort than on people’s judgments??? like, sometimes when you're learning something new or challenging yourself physically or creatively, you forget about all that noise and just focus on progress!!! relationships form naturally around shared interests too!! people who get what you're passionate about appreciate ya for who you are!!!!
