My parents are very religious and make me uncomfortable with them trying to push their views down my throat. How do I deal with them?
Well, don't challenge their ideas around them, that makes people very defensive and will make your life harder. Once you live on your own, independently from them it'll be a lot easier and you can speak your mind. I find it's often best to divert the conversation into something else. Ask them questions they’ll be excited to explain, tell them things that will get their minds off of religion for a second. Comply with religous things that don't go against your own morals, do your very best to play the part of a believer, until you leave home, which I'm assuming you still live with them. Once you’re independent, tell them that you don't believe in their religion, but you respect their beliefs, and you don't want to hear about them. Be consistently against hearing about religion, shut them down when they do, but don't sweat the little mentions they'll make. If they can't accept you with your beliefs, then that is too bad for them. Try to coexist with your parents and love them regardless of religion.
My friends parents make me uncomfortable?
So I've been friends with this girl for a while and she's mexican. This wouldn't be a problem (I'm not racist at all) except for they can barely speak English. They're both really nice and I really like her mom but for some reason they make me uncomfortable. Whenever they talk to each other in Spanish I just feel like different I guess and I have no idea why plz help thankss
My dad makes me uncomfortable?
Hi everyone, sorry if this might sound a little weird. Some background information, I'm a fifteen year old girl. My parents are married and live together. My dad travels quite frequently. I have two older brothers--I don't talk to one, and I am relatively close to the other. I'm really uncomfortable around most of my family, especially my oldest brother (the one I don't talk to) and my dad. I was raped when I was younger by my older brother's friend. I'm still getting over it, but I'm mentally stable and its not really that big of a deal. I try to not let it get to me. But its why I have such a strained relationship with my brother and possibly my dad. My dad also makes me uncomfortable because he always wants to touch me. Not like in a sexual way, but he just always like rubs my back or my legs and he always wants to put me to bed and he always falls asleep in my bed with me even though I don't want him too. And its really uncomfortable. I don't really know if I'm overreacting or under reacting or what I should do in this situation. What should I do?
My parents make me feel uncomfortable and awkward?
My mom and my dad make these little comments and statements about things and it makes me feel really uncomfortable and makes awkward situations. I said one time something what this kid did at school, he's a black kid named Dontarious. (Please note that I have no interest in dating any black person in my life, I'm not racist, but I don't think I should. Please don't let that reflect your answer towards me.) after I said what he did, I ended it by saying, "But he's a nice guy." And then my mom and dad got this look on their faces and my dad said, "uh-oh." Followed by my mom saying,"You're going to date Dontarious? I mean that's perfectly fine, but.." And it made me uncomfortable and awkward. With today's society, you can't even say someone's nice without people thinking you like the person in that way. I think it's quite sad, actually. Then a few days later I was watching Rhett and Link on the TV, and my dad hates them. He called them gay, so I stood up for them and said something. Then he turned around and whispered something to my mom. Then my mother said, "Your dad's afraid you're going to bring home Dontarious..." I said, "WILL YOU GUYS STOP!" It made me feel uncomfortable. And my mom constantly talks about me going through puberty and shaving and getting my period and it makes it awkward cuz I'm around my dad when she does it and I feel uncomfortable. Is there anyway I could make them stop? Thank you.
A male teacher at my school is making me feel uncomfortable.?
I'm in 8th grade, and there's this coach at my school who started teaching the tennis team last year. He realized I was really good, and so now when he sees me in the hall he's always touching me. Usually it's just on the shoulder, but sometimes he tries to hold my hands when he talks to me and it freaks me out! I'm always trying to avoid him in the halls. My friends have also had problems with him holding their hands, and it's just really creepy. I told my parents I'm uncomfortable with him, but I just feel kind of embarrassed if they call the school about it. Should I just tell him directly or should I let my parents call the school?
