Lonely.. please help!?!


Question: Lonely.. please help!?
Just so you know, I'm 16.
My parents spend a ton of time fighting over me. They don't know I hear them, but I do. I'm naturally a very quite girl, I'm not great at conversing, but as I get older, I think I'm getting better. I'm just shy. My mom thinks I'll come out of my shell with time, but she's always biased toward the underdog. My dad on the other hand is the opposite. he thinks I need help, that i should push harder and be louder. i just wish they would stop talking about me and give me my own space, but they don't. i've talked to them about it, but it keeps coming up. i know other people think i'm shy, but do I have a problem??

what should I do?

Answers:

Just so you know, I'm 20 years old and still feel uncomfortable speaking to my parents or asking them a question in fear that they will say "no".

I like shy people. You know, they bring me nothing but sheer brilliance. Why would I want to date someone that "told me like it is" all the time and bluntly expressed themselves to me? I would never want anything to do with a person like that. There is nothing wrong with being reserved and you have a long ways to go. I promise you, you do not need help.

I go through the same thing though. I promise, it does get better! I guess I don't get out much, but I stay out of trouble that way and it matters a lot. A shy person won't offend people like a bold person would, and you'll find it is easier to go through life. People will listen to you more because when you speak, you only speak importance. That is admirable in my opinion and there is absolutely NOTHING wrong with you! You'll meet a great guy and be happy no matter what. Shy girls are cute =)



yes the only problem is your parents fighting and bickering all the time will make you shy and feel like you are in a shell. Best thing to do is get out of there. Go stay with a friend. Or think about getting married .anything you do now will effect you later. If you stay you might have a nervous breakdown or something. Sounds like this has been going on for sometime. Or you could wait till the next they squabble and go file a complaint. You have that right!

I'm sorry.
I would confront them, the next time you hear them arguing over you and let them know you hear them and it is very upsetting.
many people are introverted and shy--and many times it is just a matter of increasing your self-esteem and realizing how unique you are and how much you have to offer--that you matter, and your feelings count!

Both of your parents need to leave you alone and let you develop naturally. Being 16 is hard! Were you always this quiet? I was always super outgoing but once I hit purberty I became very self concious and actually depressed. I have heard that is not uncommon. If you notice that happening than you might need to talk to someone. If you have always been shy than that is who you are. You are only 16. Your personality will change drastically between now and 30.



Of course not theres no problem with you maybe you should consider going out more with your friends so your not stuck home all day but its normal not everyone is open and outgoing

Me



well first i wanted to say you DONT have a problem. am 19 now and am not shy at all, am acully very out going and make friends with almost everyone but when i was your age i was shy too and my parents did the same thing however they went little bit father then your, they took me to doctor thinkg there was problem b/c i was so shy, as the doctors always said there nothing worng with you dauther, as she get older she will become more talktive and he was right i did. have you told them you heard then fighing over you? if you didnt tell them and how you feel then they might understand. as long as you are happy, making friends and being a teenager there is nothing worng with being shy you will get louder as you become older. it kind of like you have to become takitive, or everything like SCHOOL DANCES, and jods you have talk but i think you will learn to become less shy as you get older.
your friend, SARA, (sorry about my spelling)
