There are lots of people who always keeps you down even if they are your own family.They hurt your feelings every time they tell that you can't and you have no guts. Hearing this makes your self-esteem low and your confidence.They are too insensitive and they do not care on what they say even if you hear them. They can not also understand you because they won't listen to every word you say and do not even think what is the reason.I thought your family should be the people who will be supportive of you but not all families are.Some says that it is just a challenge for you to strive your best but not all people can accept that a challenge.

I understand how hurtful that is for you. Family is where we look for encouragement and support. Unfortunately not all of us are blessed with such families. If we could change that for ourselves it would already be done and we would not be having this conversation. Confidence is something we all have inside ourselves. You have the choice to let that confidence show or bury it. Family is important but not at the expense of your own well being. If you need encouragement you can find a compassionate friend or a mentor. You can rise above the hurtful things said to you and start believing in yourself. You don't need negativity taking such control in your life. No matter how you look at your situation, as a challenge or just the hand that life dealt you, you must realize that you only have control over yourself. You can not make others change or make them give you what you want or need. Accept them for who they are...period. Wishing for more out of them is wasted energy. It is your life, accept the challenge, you are stronger then you know.
