Question - (5 March 2012) 2 Answers - (Newest, 7 March 2012)
A female South Africa age 26-29, anonymous writes:

Hai. Im not feeling like my real self right now and i dont know what to. The things is, my mother and father are always fighting; shouting at one another for some reasons i dont understand. So i kind of favoured my dad because he never started the shouting, my mom did. I am feeling bad right now because my mom thinks that i hate her, i got a bad attitude towards her since i was 12 and i am a bad nasty looking person and thats why i dont get to make friends. That s what really hurts me. Yes i know i dont have alot of friends and that s only because i am so shy, i find it difficult to communicate with people i jus met. I just prayed right now, and what s left for me is your advice. Il be more relieved and happy if u help me (so that i could focus on my studies and write the test well tomorrow). I got nobody to talk to about this, only you. .

Oh poor you. I remember the same thing with my parents. I felt the same about my mother. The thing is that as people get older - middle aged we like to call it, our bodies stop feeling young and healthy and we annoyed and blame anybody or anything. Especially women whose hormones start to change and make them feel terrible. Talk to your mum, remind her how much you need and love her. Tell her you need her to help you stop feeling so shy and scared. It will be ok, and good luck with the tests!

Starlights agony auntYour bound to be feeling stressed hearing your parents argue.

Its natural you feel to take your fathers side because it appears to you, your mother starts it off.

Why dont you speak to your mum and tell her how you feel.

Explain that the fighting is really horrible and not nice to listen to. Your mother should be supporting of you and your feelings.

Your not a bad nasty looking person, it may be your attitude of appearing strong/hard that may prevent people from talking so much to you.

To make friends you have to be a friend.

Its ok to be shy but in class surely you can talk to classmates about subjects and things? smile and open some communication so it shows your not a "hard" person. You must slowly release the shyness a little to make friends.

I know your hurting, but remember you are loved.

I hope this helps.
