My mom criticizes every single aspect of my being. But what kills me is that she'll compliment something on other people while criticizing the exact same thing in me. For example, we were watching a tennis match, and she said that she loved the player's body. But she keeps criticizing my body, even though I have the same body as that player. Another example is when I bought a dress, she said it looked ugly, but a couple weeks later, we saw a woman wearing the same exact dress, and she said that it looked so beautiful. What hurts me is that she's not criticizing me because she truly believes it, but it feels like hatred for no reason. What would you do in my position?
