feel frustrated because of ''this''

Hiya.

So when someone is laughing about something which isn't funny.
Like laughing in a harsh way, I feel hurt. I cannot cope with negative meanings.Every negative signal kicks into my emotion. My dad can make those dull comments, Like for example I would tell him ''I'm good at math''He's like ''Oh really? But I thought you were bad at it''.
Or like, ''I can't live with Social Anxiety '' he would say ''Then you should not live with it, it's easy''. He's always making jokes, mostly he is, but I'm getting pissed off by his stupid comments. I start to believe what he says, It makes me feel frustrated and mad at him. I can't help my emotions, I think my dad is a great person, But he can be so harsh. He wanted to go showering, and i was about to. He said, In 5 minutes you are done. I said, what? Because you want to shower I need to be ready in 5 min? (i thought, wow that's selfish, not saying it, cuz I know he'll get mad at me) So I said ''You can go first then''. He said, no you go first. So I needed to shower in 5 min.
Damn, I hate it. and when I'm sitting in the car with him , He never askes me how i'm doing, I wish he could be a little bit more caring.
And he doesn't want to burn my movies on dvd, only his own movies, and my mom and brother. I feel ignored. This keeps on playing in my mind all the time and makes me sad. I wish it could be a little easier.
What could i do... any advice?

Your dad has some issues himself. The worst was that suicidal joke he told you. It sounds like your dad uses deflective humor at really bad times, serious times. Your life is serious, and so is your SA, and your dad seems to think both are jokes. I'm sure your dad is an okay guy, but he doesn't respect enough of who you are right now. I would highly advise getting a full-time job and getting your own place. My parents are annoying, but at least they respect me, it sounds like your dad lacks respect, no offense.

I think you should just talk to him about it and tell him how his comments are making you frustrated and depressed. He'll probably feel bad about it and realize how his behaviour affects you in a lot of ways.
