Some people a perfect talent to make everything about them... I have to admit I probably had a phase like this quite a while ago...but i realised that it was driven out of insecurity. As long as I was at the helm, nobody could unsettle me, it felt that I was in control and I didn't have to make the effort to really listen and understand the other person, if that makes sense.

I dropped the 'act' after a while, because I realised what I was doing and it stopped me having a decent conversation with anyone.

Would it be possible to actually say to your sister, why she thinks that her emotions/feelings are the same and whether she would be prepared to listen to yours properly.

hiii charlie, my moms the same way as most of my family is, i find more support in my friends and church fam and "mental health team" i usually go to these people first before family hope helps some. good luck hope your doing well

I'm so sorry that your going through this very difficult time and that you feel that your sister is not the ed for you and I can understand as most if my family that I have tried talking to either say just get over it or staying at home is making you worse so I really do feel for feel for you and what I would say to your sister is that if you have been through the same then you would understand how I feel and you would be there for me as you know I'm there for you tell her it works both ways and that you find when you try to talk to her she always turns into about her and any one who does that obviously has not had experience with depression but on here we are all here to help and support each other and on here is our own family talk any time if you feel the need hope all is well with you today

There is a great book....called Boundaries.
Sometimes we have to put aside others that are old enough to deal with their problems and worry about our own. It's not being mean, it's being kind to ourselves and honest to others.We can't be for the anyone else unless we are taking care of ourselves first. I am still trying this myself so I know. Your sister will always be your sister, and if people are clever enough to operate phones, tv's, computers or make themselves a feed they can get up and do something for themselves. I sympathize with people but only do what I can, when I can. And.... if it's ok for your sister to come to you then she should also return your kindness and time. I hope this helps you in some little way and your day is as bright as the sun. xo

My cousin is like that, she even go tell the public about my depression situation, and sometimes I feel like I'm not taken seriously because of my situation, even some of my cousins in my father's family discriminate me, I don't know whether they think I'm unfit to stay with them during the family gatherings, I wish people could take depression seriously, and understand that we are still human beings, although living with chronic conditions.
