Save your sister, she is not okay. You are not an inferior person, there is nothing inherently wrong with you. You are not responsible for everything. Your boundaries matter. Your feelings matter. You will be okay.
She invited you over at 2am cuz she wanted the D you fucking idiot
You fight much bigger problems that others around you. Your way of thinking is definitely not normal, seek diagnosis and help. Life is not supposed to be this complicated mentally.
“You’re trans lul, and don’t worry about coming out your mom is nice and dad doesn’t give a fuck” Honestly would probably make my childhood harder but would make my mid/late teens onward a lot less confusing and painful.
Tell Mama to divorce him now. Give her this letter.
Hit the gym and stay consistent about it. Not only will you feel better about yourself you’ll also be able to manage the physical pain you will have a lot better.
DO NOT START DRINKING
You started drinking as a child?
Depends on what age you could as “child”. But yeah.

A lot of people will have negative things to say about this, but good for you. Alcohol is not necessary for a full, happy life. For people that enjoy it in moderation, awesome. But there’s nothing wrong with not liking it or not even being interested in trying it in the first place.
Kinda in the same position, I don’t drink, never have (though I’ve had it in my mouth), and don’t really ever plan to. Not really interested ngl, and I’ve seen it go wrong enough to know how bad it can get.
That being said, I have no issues with anyone who does, in moderation at least. If they’re having fun, then that’s great for them!
My friend has been an alcoholic since about 13 y.o…
Ask that girl out JFC!
You’re experiencing abuse and it’s not normal. You also don’t have to put up with your family because they’re your family.
You’re not difficult or lazy, you’re autistic and you have ADHD.
It seems like these two come as a pair quite often. Is there a reason for that?
My personal theory is that neurodivergents unconsciously group / couple with each other. Happened with me and my partner. Genes that couple are more likely to co-exist. Either that or there’s some shared evolutionary origin of the genes that make up both conditions.
I can’t think of anything I’d tell myself, but I do know what I’d tell my parents: use condoms.
This one seems very sad. I hope you are okay.
I’m stuck on a planet whose civilization is rapidly turning into a feudalist dystopia. We’ll all be lucky to have roofs over our heads in 10 years. Also, it’ll be impossible to survive without air conditioning. So no, I am not okay.
I think that is the most negative scenario of what could happen. I mean, you hear and see the effects of climate change more and more around you. I am also extremely worried about it. But I have still some hope that we find ways to at least keep it liveable. I do see some progress. It is not fast enough, but I hope that it will go faster once the effects become more obvious and more people actually feel the pressure. I do not think we can complete avoid climate change anymore, but we still might be able to mitigate the most horrible effects. That is what I see in the scientific papers on it, at least.
The only sure way we will not make it, is by giving up.
Maybe, but that still leaves the feudalist dystopia and mass homelessness.
True. I mean these issues are all related. But for that it is the same, I think. There is a chance to make it better, unless you give up. I rather try and fail than never try. Of course succeeding is even better.
I think one of the main issues is that people believe that we need to live like this. That there is no other option than this capatalistic nightmare. And that these businesses and money is so powerful that we can do nothing about it. People believing that makes them not act. It keeps the status quo. I think if we can change this, we have already won half the battle.
Change it how, exactly? Everything is going to hell because the rich are intentionally forcing it to go to hell, and most people are blissfully oblivious and blame brown/gay/trans/poor people for their problems.
There are many ways to make changes. Most of them are small, but they add up. You can do a lot in your daily life and by picking jobs that contribute (if you have the opportunity). For example, I try to buy stuff second-hand as much as possible. I do not use the big commercial social media, unless it is for work. I have a background in IT and I am focusing on designing systems to support a circular economy, amongst others. I try to be open to discussion with others about this stuff to better understand their issues.
I know there is a lot of power on the other side. But we are not powerless. If people are forcing things k go to hell, do not let them. If people are oblivious, try to inform them. If people are discouraged, be kind and try to provide a more hopeful perspective.
And this is not going to work all the time and you are going to fail a lot of the time. But you might sometimes succeed as well. And, it makes me much happier if I can say that I tried and did not just sit and watch everything going to shit. And I genuinely believe that there are chances to make things better. We just have to try and figure out how until it works.
Nothing, because something is always gonna be shitty. See Butterfly Effect or Life is Strange.
That doesn’t mean that things can’t be better!
Or worse.
I recommend to watch Butterfly Effect, it’s a really good movie that deals with that exact topic.
Don’t listen to your parents; for all of the advice out there in the world that says that your parents know what’s best for you and want that for your future, that does not apply here. Also it’s okay to be gay and agender, so go slay and get a sweet boyfriend.
That is some very good advice to yourself!
You’re trans and mom’s headaches aren’t normal she needs to get them checked out
You’re AuDHD, and I believe everything that’s happening to you at home. It’s real and you’re not lying or making it up. You don’t deserve this. You’re a good person and your family wasn’t prepared or willing to meet your needs. You are NOT a burden or an unlovable, broken failure of a child. You are BEAUTIFUL.
Keep writing & fiercely loving your stories - NEVER give up on them, or anything else that brings you joy; your interests & passions & the woman you love (and that love is NOT wrong) are your family now.
