Are you an only child? I'm the same as you. It's horrible because when you are an only child, you're the only shot. There's no one to fall back on, and also there's no one to deflect the attention. So like when your parents are mad at you, they stay mad at you. Oh, plus you're never good enough either. No, never. No, never, never.
