I think I understand what you mean, while my focus is on specific features I don’t like, people actually focus on my face itself. I guess I figured since it’s such a big deal to me, it would be a huge deal from the perspective of someone else.
My relationship with my parents is fine. Well, in the past they were a little too strict for my liking. They got frustrated easily and resorted to yelling or spanking, though that mainly occurred with my dad. What annoys me about it, is the fact that I wasn’t that much of a rebellious kid. I’ve known people who would cuss at their parents, try to run away, and things of that nature. Yet, they weren’t really spanked or yelled at. Now my parents are more lenient and since I’m older, I don’t get spanked. Though there’s still some restrictions such as: no swearing, no dating, etc. Besides the stupid restrictions, I’d say I’m on good terms with my mom. We get into fights sometimes over stupid stuff, but that’s it. She still listens to me and tries to understand me, and makes the most effort out of everyone in my family. My dad, is just a different story. We don’t have much in common and I feel like I try harder to be close with him. Plus he’s too stubborn and there’s certain stuff I couldn’t say without him getting uptight.
What would be relevant to my anxiety would be how I was bullied in elementary. Also in middle school and high school there were a few small incidents where people would bother me or try to make me uncomfortable purposely. Which sucked majorly, but oh well.
