Things my parents need to understand

• I don't like to be touched: that includes hugging and tapping me on the shoulder
• I spend all day in my bed when I am home: I'm too sad to do anything but lay there
• Many of my friends don't seem to care about me: wonder why I spend my weekends at home?
• Yes I am single: guys don't like me
• Comments you make hurt: that includes the jokes
• I don't like to clean my room: the messiness is my organization
• You tell me I need to eat better: it feels like you're calling me fat
• You tell me I won't be able to have success: I think that's a given
• You have no confidence in me: I have none in me too
• You make me feel like shit: I already feel that way
