Ok so I’ll be straight up honest, I personally know I need counseling by a professional psychologist. The problem is that my parents keep telling me to go and it makes me upset because I’m the one who would be disclosing all my problems to that person and I keep telling them that I’ll go when I feel comfortable to go. I really don’t like being told I need to go to counseling because I already know, but when someone tells you to your face and basically says that you don’t know what you’re doing so go to counseling, of course I’m going to be upset. I understand they are my parents and yes, I’ve been procrastinating counseling, but it’s only because I’m not sure if I’m comfortable or not. However I don’t like the fact that they say, “we’re your parents so we can tell you what to do.” and “we all don’t want to be told what to do, but we have to do it anyway.” To me it’s like, “OK I realize I’m suppose to listen and do stuff I’m told to do, but certain things are too sensitive to me personally, to be shoved in my face and told to do it.” I’m not discrediting my parents in any way or form, I’m just saying I’m really upset that they won’t listen to me about not telling me to go and just letting me tell them when I feel comfortable.
Am I wrong to feel this way?
