I don't have the nerve to tell my mom that I don't need my glasses and I have visual static/visual snow.

My back hurts so bad
I don't want to tell my mom bc she'll just say it's from sitting at the computer
It's actually from walking around a lot
But she wouldn't believe me
And neither would dad

Just try to relax and get better, maybe take Advil. If it doesn't get better though you'll have to say something.

Ugh my mother. I'm so frustrated right now.
She finds every excuse possible to yell at me and make a huge scene. There's no such thing as the right choice with her, whatever I have done, she just needs to me to do the opposite of. She tells me to make my own decision, and then will correct me immediately after and tell me to change everything. Maybe she thinks that if she yells at me enough I'll become her perfect little daughter, one who has lots of friends and straight A's in school. The one who isn't afraid of talking to people, or of trying out something new.
Unfortunately, I'm just me. I don't know why she thinks she can change me into that person, but she's always trying and making me miserable as a result. She's just always in a bad mood and takes that out on everyone. A few weeks ago she wanted to have a nice shopping day with me, which is really uncharacteristic, so naive me thought it was her way of apologizing. Nope. The day started off "great" when she implied I needed to loose weight because I looked fat in the shorts I was trying on, and got even better when she yelled at me for taking too long, and was grumpy and unwilling to talk the whole day.
She micromanages everything i do and when I look back at everything I wanted, but let go of because she disapproved it really upsets me. I don't know why I let her push me around like that, but It feels impossible to stand up to her. I don't know what to do about it.

Tell her that you are your own person.
Tell her that you are struggling with this self esteem and you'd love to do these activities and find yourself, and enjoy your youth, and if she wants to be a pArt of that she's welcomw and if not, see ya around.

It's rather uncharacteristic of me to write on this, but here goes.
I have an unusual problem. I know it's common for people to say that
they're uncool and they don't have friends, but I've got kind of the
opposite problem and I don't know how to deal with it exactly.
My point...is it possible to be too cool??
I mean, people at my school like me. They do. They admire my art skills.
But what else?? I know this is selfish of me, but I feel like none of them
are actually making an effort to know me. I'm "that girl who draws", and
once they know that, no one wants to get to know me better. I feel like
I have a lot of friends, but do I really?? I'm not that girl that everyone
follows on Instagram. I'm not anyone's "wcw." To be blunt, I'm just not in
the picture. People know me. They aren't friends with me. I feel like I'm
just...you know, the second choice for everyone. There are like, three
people that I feel really know me and care to know about my interests.
To make matters worse, there's this boy I know at school who's gun shy.
I really want to be friends with him, but I think he's scared of my "social
status." I don't know if he understands, but I'm in a tough position. He's
not aware that when he walks away from me or shies away when I talk to
him, that it kind of hurts. I'm already no one special, and I know it. It's not
his fault, but I just can't get him to not think of me as the big, scary artist
lady. He's not the only one, either. It's a lot of people, and it's starting to
make me feel like I'm all by myself, in a way.
How is it possible for me to be surrounded by so many people, yet feel so lonely??
Sorry if this made no sense, I just needed to get this off my chest...it's
been bothering me for awhile.

That's not selfish
Tell your friend how you feel, even if it seems weird. He'll probably make an effort to spend more time with you, and you could get closer.

I've rarely ever come here, but this has been making me feel so negative for so long.. so I figure maybe saying something for once will at least make me feel better for a little while.
Basically, I have no friends. I know people whine about this all the time, but for me.. it's different.
I've had friends, best friends. Except they always leave me.
I have tried making friends both in real life and online. It's always the same result. We're friends, sometimes besties, and we talk nonstop for months on end.
Then one day.. they're just gone. In real life they move away, or just suddenly turn their back on me, and online they either become inactive or are too busy with new friends to ever give me a second thought.
I've tried fixing my lost friendships, but it's no use. I get ignored.
They move on and have new friendships, while I'm forced to watch this.. I can move on, but the memory of the fun times we used to have together hurts so much.
It's been like this since I was old enough to socialize.
Now, I've pretty much given up. I don't see the point in trying to make friends if I know they'll abandon me after a few months or a year. It's been really bad the past month, since I keep seeing one "ex-bestie" in particular surrounded by her new friends. I've tried talking to her, but guess what happens? She ignores me.
I sit here alone, seeing everywhere both online and in real life, people chattering on about the bestie they've had since they were two.
And I just feel like crying, because I'll never have a friendship like that. In a matter of time, I'm sure I'll have a new friend. Until one day, when our talks will come to a permanent stop.

i would be weak if i came to you first and tried fixing it. i always felt weak. i feel weak now by admitting that i was messed up.

I have the same issue as you. Try taking your mind off of it by watching a movie. Also try drinking some chamomile tea. You will get better soon. (:

Just know that we are here with you. You can PM me anytime. I don't know how to deal with it but just know we are always here for you. (:

My mom and dad are basically 'divorced'. He packed up his things and is staying at a friends house and won't be home for a few months. They say its so 'he can get better' or something along those lines, but I don't think that's the case. I think my mom doesn't want to have to actually try and help him, because her form of helping is getting angry and pointing out your flaws and that you need to fix them. ;-;

And what really scares me is that I haven't even shed a tear.
