I told my parents about my SA...OMG

[Darker Than Black]

I just told my parents,

and they're in denial, they kept on saying, you don't have it, you don't have it

just go make friends, be open, get a girl friend, make lots and lots of friends, they say...ya, BS

my parents don't understand me, and they'll never accept me

At least you have the guts to do so. I'd probably get sent to an institution or something, they threaten that a lot, haha.

Good job! Get it out in the open and tell them you want to see a therapist.

It's pointless explaining to people who don't understand. My father just says it's due to "laziness" WTF does laziness have to do with it?

Good thing you told them but I'm sorry for you about them denying it. My father is like them, he keeps saying I'm just shy and stuff, even though I tell him over and over that it's not just being shy. I gave up on telling him and after a while he didn't bring it up anymore, I just left it as that.

My parents realized how bad it was when I stopped being able to go to school. I was fortunate that they were supportive, but at the same time, but didn't push me into doing things or said the right words, the words that would make me feel not as terrified of everything and everyone. Regardless, I'm slowly trying to convince myself that things are never as bad as I think they are, and that there really are decent people out there just waiting for us to meet them, people who are actually worth it.

For anyone with SA, there is a lot of psychological work to be done if you want to become a member of society and be accepted as a part the things you want to do.

My mom called this morning, saying that she and dad did a lot of research on some chinese websites, and understood some of my condition, and that they were sorry and all that stuff..u know?

I feel like there's this big burden that has been lifted, I feel so relaxed now, but still have SA issues

Well at least they know now. I used to skip school in 9th 10th and 11th because of my SA and my parents just thought I was a bad kid. My mom thought I was getting bullied or picked on or some shit and I told her "no mom I just don't feel like I going."

One day in the car I told her I have SA, and she just downplayed it. She knows I'm a shy kid, but she can't make the connection that I skip school because of my anxiety, so I don't worry about telling her anymore.
