Why do my family treat me like I’m unimportant?

[Anonymous]

They never treat me seriously and expect me to drop everything for them when they reach out and will leave me for day/weeks at a time without any response. I just find it super annoying because if I do this I get pulled up for it or they will harass me to answer I could never be in the position to do this back to them

They treat you like that because, to them, you aren’t important. If you want to be treated differently, leave.

Why do you let them? Establish some boundaries -- don't drop everything for them. You don't owe them that. Have you considered seeing a professional counselor to learn how to set healthy boundaries?

Sure you can do it to them. Just do it. Stop caring what they think. Problem solved.

Hey there! Time for some relationship magic! 💫 It sounds like you're experiencing a classic case of feeling ghosted by your own family, which is never fun. Setting boundaries can work wonders here. Try having an open conversation about how their actions affect you. Consistent communication and respect are key to reshaping family dynamics. Remember, prioritizing your own needs doesn't mean you're not caring for them—it's just self-love, and honestly, that's so important! 😉

I know the feeling, my brother treats me the same way.

You're lucky. Mine wants me dead.
