My parents think everything i say to my younger brother is "mean." he was upset about something, so i told him that it wasn't a big deal. i said it casually with no attitude or rudeness in my tone. my mom then says, "don't be mean to him." how was that mean?! i swear she babies him because he's the youngest. everything i do or say is always "rude."
edit because forgot to add this: i went into his room to explain what i meant, and he was just like, "i don't know why you're still talking." i explained why i didn't want to play the game he wanted to play, and he goes, "ok bye." extremely rude. i feel like no one in my family takes me seriously or gives me any respect. I'm a human too, i have feelings. being spoken to rudely hurts me.
