I prepared a national exam very hard while I was working part time for uni last year, it caused the boy I was dating to drop me, and morevover I failed. My sister and brother are married and phone little, My sister gives for granted I will always listen to her and never wants to listen to me and my brother is always busy and his wife is not very sociable towards our family,we all used to be very close and I miss it. This morning my sister who is always reluctant to talk to me but about herself and her online boyfriend, though sh's married told me a much better looking girl than I had pass according to her cyber boyfriend description, I got mad at her and hanged down, now she says I'm bad tempered and that I cannot accept other people being better than I at everything and adds I should be having sec and fun all time. I just don not want to talk to her anymore I always babysit her daughter and I always have to phone my broher so that we keep in touch, he asked me to go and buy a present for his daughter with his wife (me paying) and I was happy to do so but today I found out she already buy it with a friend so I feel a bit upset or down I don't know hoiw to define it. Sould I take it personal or not to talk to them for a time?thanks Reply to this Question

 Your sister and brother may not realize how sensitive you feel at the moment but they may think that every time you call them it is to listen to their lives.
Dont let your needs cloud your judgement. try to talk to someone else about your depression and allow cooling off period. Your relatives may feel as needy as you but need some time to understand what you are going through. Give space for a couple of days then when you call keep it light and built from there. Sometimes it is difficult to express your feelings over the phone. A big hug from me!
