If I mention my friend's boyfriend once, I'm obsessed with her dating life.

If I send a "gotta go" text to someone, which takes a few seconds, I'm suddenly wasting time and always on my phone.

If I calmly tell my grandma that her statement is not true, she says I'm easily offended and being a snowflake.

If I say the name of a TV show, they think I'm unhealthily obsessed with it.

I'm yelled at if I'm not the ideal, quiet girl. Is this normal? How can I let them get to know me like they want to do?

Oh, did I say, "my girlfriend Kate", family? Yeah, Kate's my friend and she's a girl!

"Girlfriend of ten months"? We've been friends for ten months, guys!

You see how we hug a lot, hold hands, sometimes kiss? Kate is a very dear friend to me. We're closer than anyone else, and we show that by doing all that!

Oh, you saw me flirt with her? Friends do that jokingly! I wanna move in with her due to how expensive it'd be if we each got our own place! We'll be ROOMMATES.... who sometimes make out.

We just practice kissing! Ya think guys will date us if we're bad kissers?

My friend Abby texted the group chat one day. She said that our friend Ella's mom texted Abby and told her that Ella passed out and still hasn’t woken up.

Of course, for hours, we were worried sick about her. Abby told us she hasn’t received any more news about Ella. I vented to my family about it, and they said they were sorry that happened to Ella and I’d just have to wait and see if she gets better.

Ella also has a boyfriend, Michael. Michael and I eventually found out from Ella that it was a prank, and she had just turned her phone off. I was worried about her, and Michael was pissed to find out that she did that.

Ella thought it wouldn’t get a reaction, so she did that because she was bored and didn’t know what to do.

I'm not sure where to put this. Just... it worried me so badly, since Ella's a friend and I care about her. Why would someone even do this?

I'm sorry to gush, but he's so quiet and peaceful that I want to hug him. It's honestly so relaxing to see him asleep, although sometimes I accidentally get pushed behind which leads to the body getting sleepy.

Every time I talk to my family about something, and my grandma happens to be in the room (almost always), I could bring up something such as school friends (since my family will ask if anything exciting happened), and I’ll bring up something ONCE like: “I’m so happy for my friend Ella. She’s liked this dude, Michael, for a long time, and now they’re finally together!”

Suddenly, my grandma will say “You know, it’s so WEIRD that you’re obsessed with Ella’s dating life? Why are you being so WEIRD?”

I’ll calmly respond with, “I’m just happy for her. I’m talking about things that happened at school.”

She’ll tell me that I get offended too easily and that I’m oppressing her, that she can’t say ANYTHING without me getting offended.

When I told my family that I just got diagnosed with a disorder and was trying to process it, she told me I was obsessed with “being mentally ill and making it my whole personality”, when I only mentioned being tested for it a few times.

She frequently makes comments when I say anything about a topic, and then when I calmly tell her that her comment isn’t true, she thinks that I’m upset with her and stuff.

How do I deal with the comments? I live with her, BTW.

How’s everyone doing today? :)

Has anyone ever woken up one morning to realize that the alter in front with them hasn't woken up yet? It's very weird and even sometimes leads to sleep paralysis for me.
