Why am I not good enough for my parents?

Sometimes in the midst of all the pressure, We seem to totally forget all the wonderful, unique things about our self. Sometimes it seems like our entire world is falling apart around us and there’s nothing we can do to stop it. Sometimes we feel like a complete mess, and will never amount to anything in anyone's eyes, especially to our parents. Sometimes parents just feel make us feel like we aren't good enough. They can place standards on us that feel impossible to achieve. The best advice I can give you is that you just need to focus on the positive. No matter how many things there are working against you, there are so many more pushing you towards your goals. It’s time to get out of bed and embrace this terrible day for all it is. It’s okay to feel sorry for yourself sometimes, but it’s better to feel grateful. It’s okay to not have your shit together; you are still young. It’s okay to part ways with negative people; you will meet new friends. It’s okay to question your relationships; there are other fish in the sea. You will have bad hours or days. You’ll have bad weeks or months. You may even have a bad year or a bad decade. But, you will only really know the bad in comparison to the good. So, cherish the good moments. It gets better. I am good enough. You are good enough. We are all good enough. And no one can tell us otherwise. Sending my love

Most parents are over-expecting. They expect you to do better than them. Unfortunately they often don't consider their own maturity level and thought process when they were at your age. Neither you nor your parents are at fault. It is completely normal. After all it's their job to make you better than what you already are.

Some parents think they push thier children by showing them so, it is not healthy, but you can"t change them. If you think you are good with them, and you are doing your best, consider their advices, it can help you. Try talking with them about it, tell them you need to feel appreciated and supported, and that this is not healthy for you nor them. At last, the only person you need to be good enough for is your own self.

I think the phrase "good enough" should never be followed by any qualifiers. You simply are "good enough". "Good enough" is a relative term, and someone is always going to jump on the chance to criticize you and make you feel otherwise. Even your parents will sometimes be the ones to criticize you. No matter what they tell you, you absolutely are good enough. Remember that they may disapprove of whatever you're doing, but regardless of what they say, you are good enough. They just may not be ready to acknowledge that. Surround yourself with people who are :)

I don't know if you are good enough or you are not, but you don't necessarily have to prove anything to anybody. I'm sure you're trying hard to be good enough for them. Respect them for they are the reason for your existence. Be good and kind when you can. And the good you do will come back to you.

I am sorry you feel that you aren't good enough as I'm sure that your parents don't truly feel that way. Sometimes parents put a lot of pressure on us to do better, be better because they want the best for us. So when something goes wrong they react in ways that make us feel "not good enough". Talk to your parents, tell them how you feel. You may be very surprised that they probably didn't even know hat they were making you feel that way. We can't fix what we don't realize is broken. Talk to them.

Maybe they want you to be the best. Just talk to them with love and respect and tell them you are doing your best

You are always good enough for your parents! I used to feel that same way to be honest. My mother and I do not get alone well at all, but we try. If they don't "love" you apposed, they just don't show it but they will always love you!
