I have been very rude to my fam lately and taking out my problems on them by being a ***** =/ mainly because i've been depressed b/c i cant drive anymore and have been stuck at home most of the time and lost my job.... i feel really bad and idk what to do, i already tried talking to them but that didnt work....should i just continue the way i am and never change?
try not to let your situation keep you down. Theres no reason to take it out on your family. I think you should keep trying to reconnect with them. No sense in just giving up. Tell them your sorry.
You're not going to change until you find a purpose in life. 'Vowing to change' isn't going to work.
Do some voluntary work and then try to get back into employment. Also find something that interests you and gets you out of the house such as a sport or a book club or whatever
Remember this, your family is putting a roof over your head and the only ones who are around right now. Don't bite the hand that feeds you. When you're down (which you are now) who's there with you? Family. I bet your friends didn't stick around when you lost your job and aren't driving around, right?
Family is family, you are miserable because of your predicament but it's not anyones fault but your own. Stop acting like a spoiled brat who didn't get their way and appreciate your family.
I can only say that being a bi*ch never got my daughters anything. They tried on several occasions. But it didnt work. Sounds like typical teenage troubles to me. It will all be fine if you just try to be nicer. Good luck.
Here's an exceptional idea, one that I'm surprised no one has offered: Be an adult. That means the following:
1) Apologize to your family. Adults, upon recognizing that they've done something wrong, tell the people they've hurt. People are remarkably forgiving if all you do is say, "I'm sorry for the things I've said and done. I will try to be a better person with your help." Only self-centered people don't apologize.
2) Actually take a cold, hard look at your behavior and decide what has driven it. Then try to improve that part of your life day by day.
3) Find another job. Yes, I know, easier said than done. But once you have purpose and direction to your life again, you'll feel better.
4) Have a better attitude. Happiness is really a decision. I've known people who have had all life's advantages have rotten attitudes, and I've known people who faced terrible situations with good attitudes. Guess who came out better?
