Ever since I was a kid, you know, I grew up watching TV shows, American sitcoms, and Disney families. I wished mine was like that. I come from a dysfunctional family. They provide my needs, but I've never felt comfortable with them. You know, there are times when I can be alone in my room, and they wouldn't even care to talk to me. My family fights and argues a lot. You know, I hate it there. Even if I'm in a good mood, because of them, I end up feeling off.

I just wanna know if anyone here was ever in a situation like mine and if things improved for you. I want to have my own family someday, you know, so I could get things right and feel the love I've always dreamed of. I don't wanna live suffocated.

I get you. Stay strong, though. You can break the cycle. You don't have to be like them. You can be the someone who you needed. You will be able to find someone who will love you and you will love comfortably. Life is like that (sorry if I'm cringing you out 😭😭) but I mean it. Don't put yourself down. You have to trust and love yourself to put yourself out there to find someone for you. Wishing you allll the veeeryyyy best!
