Is this normal? Would you feel this way too? Am I being selfish?
I was taken from my biological family when I was 8. I was adopted by my step-uncle and aunt. My adopted parents divorced 2 years later and I stayed with my step-uncle whom I call dad now. My aunt hates me which causes some of my family to not like me. My step-uncles side doesn't consider me family. I always wanted a big family Christmas where I got loads of presents but I haven't ever had one. I'm lucky if I get 2. My bestfriend is super spoiled and last year got a laptop, ipod, and a new iphone. I got $50 (from my dad/uncle and I adore and love him for not giving up in me)and lipgloss. My boyfriend invited me last year to his house for Christmas and this year too. I felt awkward because he got a ton of presents and his family adored him. He has the Christmas that I've always wanted and I can't help but feel sad that I won't have that. How can I get out of my funk? I know it sounds selfish but I want family that loves me and shows it too. How do I get over it? I'm 17 by the way.
You can do for your way
Lol… Christmas isn't about giving presents.
I think you're the one who needs to open your eyes.
I don't think your selfish. I can understand how you feel.
- Why are people so greedy & selfish? Okay so I was just on Facebook & this girl in my algebra classs birthday. Appearently she was all pissed off that her mom bought her the iPhone 4S instead of the iPhone 5. She was bitching about how much she hated her mom & wish she'd drop dead. WELL MY MOM DID DROP DEAD. People really take things for granted & don't appreciate what they have. I really hate people.
- Is it normal to feel this guilty? I come from a rich family and I'm always guilty! I hate when I have something that others don't have it makes me feel guilty and depressed. Like if I have my nails polished and someone else doesn't I feel very bad i don't know why but I hate this… I have an iPhone but if I go to a sleepover and my friend doesn't have one I get very sad! Am I spoiled? Why do I feel this way?
- Is it normal to feel like this? So I'm going to a sleepover and I have to bring my iphone but I'm worried invade it goes missing at night. I know it sounds crazy but my phone means the world to me. How can I stop worrying about it? And is it normal to feel this way?
- Is it normal to feel guilty after buying something expensive for yourself? My dad bought me a iPhone 4S because i really wanted one and because he said i deserved it and i needed a phone. I previously had a cheap android phone that i rarely used. I feel guilty for wasting my dads hard earned money and i feel like i'm spoiled and i don't deserve it. I do get good grades though. Any ideas to help me stop feeling guilty please? Its eating me up. My dad said that its okay and we still has a lot of money. But i still feel guilty.
