Experience Tumblr like never before
Why do parents get so defensive when you say "I've been feeling overwhelmed lately"?
I know I don't have a job, I know I don't have a kid, I know I don't have to worry about bills. But that doesn't mean that my feelings are less, this is the most school I've ever had to do and it's only going to get harder, I can't hang out with my friends because their busy, and you invalidate my feelings by listing all your responsibilities you have, and because I am getting older I do have more responsibilities then I ever have before.
Your "lecture" to "help me" is just making me bottle up my feelings and not tell you anything.
