Thank you so much for your kindness. It isn't so much that my family doesn't listen, it's just that they don't seem to understand the extent of how this affects me. They just seem to think I'm being overly sensitive about things. I don't know, maybe I am, but they've never been in my body or felt my emotions. They have no frame of reference for this, so they can't comprehend this emotion, no matter how I try to explain things. It's incredibly frustrating, but they love me and they mean well, so I don't really know how to handle this. I don't want to hurt them, and I get sick of having to act like a bitch just to get some independence and privacy. It's not their fault they don't understand, but this does negatively affect me. I wish I knew what to do.
