Today, I found out that my entire family thinks I have no friends, am expressionless (to quote, "a robot") and that my monotonous voice hints at the suppressed depression hidden deep inside me. According to them, I need psychic evaluation. It all came out during a family reunion. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my family finally noticed my depression because of how quiet, down and uninterested I’ve been. They responded by harassing me for saying nothing, calling me names, and making fun of me. Hmm, I wonder why I’m depressed. FML
Today, I found out that my parents have always believed that every single time I have ever showed emotion, I was faking it and that I'm actually a sociopath with no feelings. I was kicked out of the theater department at my college for my poor acting skills, and they know it. FML
Today, my friend needed to talk out bad feelings. Then she urged me to open up as well. I hate doing it, but it only seemed fair, so I confessed my deep insecurities. Not only did she agree with everything, but she also helpfully added that I'm boring, have no life, and all my dreams are unattainable. FML
Today, I was hypnotized and talked into telling everyone truths about myself at a show my family and I went to. I don't know what I said. All I know is that my family laughs whenever I'm near them. They won't tell me what happened. FML
Today, I realized I rarely go outside anymore due to hyperacusis, social anxiety, depression, and sensory issues. I'm also afraid to tell my family and friends about my problems, because they don't understand how bad it really is. Looks like I'm doomed to be depressed and alone my whole life. FML
Today, I asked my friends what they thought was my biggest problem. All of them responded, "You're boring." I don't deny it, and I certainly did ask, but… Ouch. FML
Today, I found out I wasn't invited to the annual family reunion. The reason? Everyone thinks I'm "creepy" because I'm the only adult who will go out and play with the kids. FML
Today, my aunt informed me that she thinks I'm faking the debilitating disease I've had for the past 13 years. Apparently she thinks I just don't want to go to college or get a job, and that I like living on disability. She also added that my entire extended family agrees with her. FML
Today, I couldn't say a single sentence without being interrupted or having the conversation hijacked into a monologue of past grievances by family members against people they have issues with. And they wonder why I hide in my room all the time… FML
Today, I have no friends because I have severe anxiety and severe social anxiety. I thought I had family but as it turns out, my family is trying to get rid of me by sending me away. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Well, maybe you do need a PSYCHIATRIC evaluation. They must be pretty worried about you to bring this up, or complete assholes, but for an entire family to agree hints at something deeper. What's the harm in some evaluation? £100, perhaps, but for your mental health, a small price to pay.

Copying someone else's mistake doesn't make it suddenly right.

Well, you really don't have friends and you don't leave the house? if yes, it's still not a big deal. Until about 1 year ago I didn't really have friends either, I was mostly on my computer and very rarely went out, my family used to worry about me too and were always calling me a computer addict and how I'll end up a social reject and such, they were basically forcing me out the door at some point. That was mostly because I was very shy and insecure so I just felt really uncomfortable with going out amongst people. Anyway, that might be a problem, but most of the time it's just the age (I'm thinking you're about 14-16,17 y old), at least that was the case for me. I've made some friends and started going out slowly, about once every few weeks, now I basically go out almost every day and now sometimes my family worries why don't I come home all day or why I stay so late.

wow.....amazing what people infer from two or three sentences. diagnosis from Autism to Aspergers to insane. OP...If you think you are ok, then maybe tell your family you just don't like them.

Listen here's some advice, if what your family is saying is true CHANGE yourself immediately. Trust me you don't want to continue dow that road. I know it firsthand and it's not a pleaseant way to live. I'm not sure what your problem is exactly but I was the same way and I don't like where I am now because of it. So do yourself a favor and if you cant change on your own then seek a psychologist or psychiatrist and let them diagnose you, because you might have a disorder or psychological problem
