-sends many many hugs, and hopes that the stuff you're going through eases soon-
It's so frustrating when a family member or friend doesn't hear you when you're trying to tell them what you need. Parents are particularly difficult, because we want them to be there to understand and protect us, and as we get older we also feel obligated to them, and there's a big tangle of emotions it's so very difficult to just walk away from. Your emotions here are completely valid and reasonable.
The personality assessment also sounds very interesting and useful! You're very good at appearing to be quite sociable. Is there anything in particular (other than the space, evidence, calm stuff you shared in this post) that we your friends can do to help you feel relaxed and comfortable when we're together?
