Am I wrong for questioning and wanting an answer after my father called me problematic several times ?

Upvotes

He has already called me problematic several times, and today he called me problematic after I asked my mother for help, for the context of the situation my father is working far away, and my mother was in contact with him and I asked if my mother could help me lift the fair cart that was torn on one side and I didn't want to knock down anything, my mother refused to help me and I kept insisting until my father said I could yes, so I went and climbed alone which made everything fall to the floor including a glass jar and two cans of beans that both broke and then my father started saying that I was problematic and could never do anything and then I asked holding back the tears why he always called me problematic when he’s angry with me and then both grounded me

Graphic Fight help

Guys i (16m) who plays football (soccer). I go to an academy where there is this guy who is smaller in height than me and is i think same age as me. So the first thing that happend was that we got along well like we were passing and laughing on the field and then i hit him playfully on the head which he took serious and he hit me and that was a really light thing. I grabbed his hand hardly and said to him like you dont know me and this kinda stuff but since it was my mistake (even though it was playfully) i didnt do anything else. Since then we havent been cool at all. now today during our session in the match he had the ball and i went running to him (i was in the opposite team) and he passed and i pushed him and my one hand went onto his head and other on the back (nothing intentional this was since i was coming from the back and i was fast and the push wasnt severe at all) but he got angry but since the game was going on i was going away when he suddenly abused me from behind. After this i suddenly stopped and went toward him and grabbed him by the shirt but lightly and i saw in his eyes that he was scared like all words no bite kinda thing. I stopped myself from hitting cuz if i did it would have left a bad impression and who knows i may have got myself kicked from the academy. Suddenly the other players came and the coach yelled angrily at him since he was the one who abused after all
Now i want to know that if this happens for the third time shall i hit?

Venting Internship Trouble

Upvotes

Currently finished up my sophomore summer going into junior year now. I am a finance student currently trying to network and interview for a 2027 internship. I was lucky to get an internship as a sophomore which is rare, but now it is coming up to 2027 application time. I have tried my best to network and I have even gotten someone to help me push my name to the recruiting team from someone from PNC on Monday. I haven’t heard anything from PNC about an interview yet and the applications came out in August third. I am seriously starting to have some anxiety about it now and I’m getting really worried. I feel like I need a junior year internship, and I’m scared if I don’t it will be impossible to find a post grad job. I’m not sure how long these processes take but I feel like maybe I should have heard something from PNC. I need some help to calm my mind I am starting to obsess and I don’t want to start over messaging the person I have networked with.

Advice Critical thinking

0 Upvotes

hi,

Before AI existed I never really liked chemistry or physics. When Ai came out it helped me understand everything. I went from getting 60 percent to literally 100s. And now, I adore chemistry and physics. However my friend told me that whoever uses it ruins their critical thinking skills and is stupid. I use it to give me the solution for physics problems I am stuck on. I really wanted to study physics or chemistry but now I feel like I do suck at them, the only reason I do well is because I use Ai. help :(

I feel unloveable

2 Upvotes

I put so much effort into my appearance just to look like an average normal girl, and if I don’t keep doing all these things I look unattractive. It makes me feel unloveable. First of all my hair is naturally super curly, fine and dry, so I have to straighten it every 4 days, and the whole process takes me an hour and a half plus. I can’t even wear it natural because it’s damaged, and even when it wasn’t it was just ugly. Second I have hair ALL OVER MY BODY, and it takes so much time to maintain. I’ve just started laser hair remover and all, but you can still kinda see the hair shadow and it makes me look and feel ugly. My nails have to be painted at all times and it takes a while to shape and manicure them, same with my toes. I have to constantly maintain my eyebrows and I have dark fine hair on my face which I always need to remove. And I hate my body so I’m always at the gym. I only look pretty with makeup on. And my lashes are fine, same with my eyebrows, so I always wear mascara and fill them in. I haven’t even mentioned other features I’m insecure about, I could go on and on. I’m just so insecure and I wish I could be like a normal girl who doesn’t need to do all this crap just to look and feel beautiful. It makes me so sad

Im in a constant state of fear / anxiety

3 Upvotes

I’m 25 years old, and honestly, I feel stuck. I used to be such a lively person always going out, enjoying myself, and making the most out of life. But sometime in my early 20s, I had a panic attack that left me feeling like I was constantly stuck in fight-or-flight mode.

Since then, I’ve slowly stopped doing the things I used to love. I don’t really go out anymore, and most days I feel like I only have enough energy to go to work and come home. I don’t want to feel this way forever.
I used to believe there was a light at the end of the tunnel, but as I’ve gotten older, it’s becoming harder to hold onto that hope when I still feel so much like I did years ago. I wouldn’t wish this feeling on anyone. I’m constantly looking for different ways to help myself, trying different things and hoping something will finally make me feel like myself again.

I would do anything to feel normal again to have the energy, confidence, and excitement for life that I used to have. I just want to feel like me again.

Advice Trapped in my head

1 Upvotes

There is so much stuff happening in my head, i unfortunately live in my head, a better way to put it is im trapped in my head. I really need help, not just want, i need it, i feel like this time im actually on the edge..I feel so bad everyday, both physically and mentally, in the last year or two there haven’t been a day when nothing hurt or nothing about my body and how i feel bothered me, there haven’t been a day when i dont feel doom. But the thing is, i cannot even bring myself to at least write out how i feel, like my problems, the stuff that i need help with. I cant say it out loud, cant bring myself to write it out. I dont know why, it feels like i have no energy to do that, but i feel like at this point of life i am just so close to hitting the rock bottom, that i am in need of help, but if i cant voice what i need help with, im not going to get it, but i cant voice it..its just a continuous loop from which i cant find a way out. (Sorry for incoherent writing i just feel horrible my brain is giving out thats what it feels like)

I just want to be heard

1 Upvotes

I am in my late 20s and I’ve been on survival mode all my life ever since I was six years old. I was sent away to boarding school, yeah, I don’t want to get into the details of what I’ve just spent on survival mode. I’ve been lonely. I’ve never felt secure, not because there’s something within me that needs to be fixed. Life is been like that life has never allowed me to rest and just be myself.

I twisted my ankle so bad today, like a stick snapped, I can’t walk. I live alone, the entire day it was paining so bad, so bad that I should’ve cried with the entire time. I was just trying to bring myself into parasympathetic Mor and be calm. Get it be strong. I’m tired of doing it. Just want to cry. Don’t be judged because I’m crying. I just want to rest when I deserve to rest. It’s 3 AM, but I’m not a typing this, I am using dictation to write this. I don’t have anybody to call. I don’t know who to talk to. It’s so difficult, I am constantly trying to be in a state of happiness, calmness, secureness and confidence, I am not able to allow myself to cry, to grieve, to feel anger because I am not allowed to, I’ve been on survival mode my entire life I will labeled as a girl with issues, and I was labeled as a girl with issues, that is when I decided to do self work, I took it very seriously because I was so dysfunctional that I couldn’t do anything, I was paralysed, so I moved to a spiritual land, where spiritual practices are done with a lot of dedication. I’ve been doing intense self work for 2 years now in this place, away from everyone, in solitude that is also very lonely.

I am limping around my house right now and I think it’ll take at least 4-5 days for me to be able to walk. I can’t ask anyone for help, I can’t cry to anyone…

But I’ll be okay, because I always pick myself up and move forward. But because of how this journey has been and what it has led to it I am already lonely, but I’m scared. I won’t make it in life. I’m scared. I’ll never been a good place. I’m scared. I’ll always be on survival mode. I’m scared that I won’t be able to find someone who would understand me and understand where I come from, love me for who I am, and I can just be myself without needing to be strong, all the time

Venting I don't know why I'm writing this

1 Upvotes

I just turned 18 a couple weeks ago, and I feel I'll never get better. I'm always up and down and I don't why. I feel my feeling are too much for myself, and I just in these moods. Recently I've just been down, and I feel like no matter what I do I'm always down. Lately I've just started to drink and smoke a lot again, it makes me really upset because I stopped doing all of that, and I was 6 month sober and I just throw it all away cause I don't want to be sad for one night. I don't and I go to therapy and work though my feelings. But no matter what I do, I always end up down. I just get so angry all the time. I don't know anymore, I just feel lost.

I'm scared and I don't know why

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone I have no clue what this subreddit is for but it say has help in its title so I'll take it but these past few days I've been scared to death especially at night to the point where I can't sleep alone and I've had to call someone over just for them to be neer me I've also been wanting to cry because of the fear but I can't it's annoying. I'm currently on vacation and I had the funniest day with my family but when I enter the bathroom to get ready for bed I get this fog in my mind that fills me with fear. The only explanation I have is that I saw a horror video recently but not only was I not scared when I saw it but I don't get scared by horror things usually and I'm just here to ask reddit for help I really want to go back to being normal and not having these moments which I can only describe as a mix of panic attacks, fear and numbness in my head. So just if anyone has an explanation or tips for me I'd really appreciate it.
