Sometimes when I try to have a conversation about how I'm feeling or something I'm excited about to a family member, they brush it off and tell me I'm over passionate about a situation, making me feel like they didn't even listen to what I said and that I'm over exaggerating every part of my life. It really takes a toll on my mental health because I just want someone to listen to what I have to say, but it honestly feels like I'm talking to the walls or just to an empty room. I have a really good friend who listens to things I have to say and when I caught her up on my life I literally lost my voice because I was not used to talking that much. I wish I could talk to her more but she's really busy and going through some things, so I don't want to bother her with my problems. It just hurts when your own family, the people you love and who are supposed to love you neglect your speech and hurt your feelings just to shut you up
