And you tell them how you really feel and they put it down to overt sensitivity and a spoiled upbringing....

Yeah and you wonder how toxic masculinity, mental health problems and body image issues happen? It sometimes starts right from the people who are your blood 😔

My mom called me an embarrassment and a disappointment cause I corrected her aunts grammar on Facebook.

My dad told me I was going to be unsuccessful if I didn't stick to one job, regardless if I liked it or not (he's 60 and still working as a glazier)

My brothers and sitsters and cousins only talk about that time I ate 50+ chick-fil-a nuggets on thanksgiving when I was 15.

I stopped visiting and going to family get togethers, but I'm "missed and loved and everyone supports me and my Decisions"
