So the parent that I live with is just stressing me out because obviously he doesn't understand what it's like to be female and try and make friends, and it's not always easy. He makes it out like I must be constantly overreacting and taking offence against kind well meaning people. Well...that's not real life.

Girls and women can be mean and overreact to the smallest thing! 'She's weird, I don't like her,' 'She always gives me that look,' 'I hate my neighbor, she's a bitch' etc etc. I'm so sick of taking the blame in other people's eyes for being all of these things when I am actually much more empathetic and forgiving than the vast majority of people, which is why I get more hurt when people decide to be rude or hostile. I am actually too *nice* and too accommodating, and I am sensitive to anyone feeling left out or ignored, which is why it's frustrating to hear that I'm obviously causing problems with perfectly pleasant people. Sometimes I feel like I take the blame for every issue, when issues are mostly me being hurt by someone else's hostile or passive aggressive actions.
