Why am I not good enough for my parents?

Wow this really hits home. Parents often have expectations for us based on their past successes or failures. Either they want the same success for us or they want is to be better than they were. So that we can have a better life. Often this clouds what they see. It won't matter how great you are doing but if you don't live up to the standard of "success" as they know it you are supposedly letting them down. That is not true at all. Objectively and logically speaking as long as you are doing the best you can and you are happy and healthy it is more important than reaching some standard they've set for you.It is a tough situation and truly sucks. But it is important to recognize that you are important and your opinion of yourself matters first.

If you feel that you are not good enough for your parents, then maybe it’s that your parents aren’t good enough for you. No one should ever make you feel inferior to them. If that’s not the case, then it could also be general anxiety. What in your life is triggering this feeling? If it’s a bad habit, is there something you can do to change it? You should never feel less than yourself, nor should you ever have to chance yourself to make others happy. Even if it’s the hardest thing to do, sometimes the best thing is to sit down and ask, “what is the problem?” I hope this helps, and I really understand where you’re coming from.

You ARE good enough for your parents, even if their behaviour seems to tell you otherwise! Parents always want the best for their children, they wish they become successful. In their eyes, their children are the best in the world, and although this vision is meant to be positive, it may raise their expectations… Remember they do love you and that everything they do (even if it seems unfair to you) is done out of love. However, if their expectations rech a point where you start feeling under pressure, you may want to talk to them and remember them no one is perfect, and everyone does the best they can. Also you can tell them that if they want you to become successful and find your way, their support would be very appreciated :)

I'm sure you are good enough, you are important and special. Your parents may just have a hard time showing their love to you, or don't understand you. Maybe try to discuss the situation with them and let them know you are hurting. It can be hard when your parents don't understand you and make you feel like you are not good enough, but you are. And you deserve to be happy. Never think that you are not good enough for anyone, because I can promise you that you are important and special and loved. I know it must hurt but things will always get better.

Sometimes parents have way too high of expectations for their children. Some expect their children to grow up and become doctors or lawyers but those are unrealistic expectations. You have other goals in life that your parents simply don't agree with. You are good enough for your parents, it may not feel that way since they have such high expectations for you. Your parents will always love you for who you are and who you will become. You just need to show your parents that even though you will not be a doctor or a lawyer, you will be successful and happy with whatever you choose to pursue in life. Your parents will accept you for who you are no matter what, even though it might not feel that way sometimes.

First, why did you say that you are not enough? Did they make you feel that? Try talking to your parents. Tell them how you feel. Explain to them why did you feel that way. I think there is a misunderstanding. The moment you are born, they are already proud of you. You just have to let go your worries. Talk to them. Communicate with them. Don't you ever think you are not enough because you are. You matter to anyone. If not with your parents, I know there is someone who will treat you special. Smile sunshine. Hehe.

A relationship between a child and their parents vary. Not everyone gets on well with their parents and some parents have very high expectations for their children. This can often leave the child feeling like they are not good enough despite their best efforts. This can be very upsetting and harmful to that child as this induces stress and anxiety. It puts a lot of pressure on the child. Perhaps you could speak with you parents and explain to them that you feel you aren't good enough. You may be surprised to learn they feel you are more than adequate.

They want me to be someone who's not me. The truth is that it is okay that I follow my heart and be who I want to be. They expect me to be like them, to follow their path, to do the things they have done in the past, but looking at what they did, I figured that it might be the kind of life that I want. They thought that if I have the potential to walk their path, I should do the same. The problem is that they expect me to become someone like them but I am not like them. IT is okay though, I will find a way and live my life peacefully.

You are good enough for your parents. Their expectations for you seem really high, but it is because they want you to reach for your highest potential. They want you to achieve big dreams. (Sometimes they forget their big dreams for you are not the same big dreams you hold for yourself.) Remind them you have your own goals and need to find your own truths. But always know, you're good enough for them - whether they tell you this or not. They are humans too and their flaws and egos may accidentally make you feel less than worthy. That is their mistake, not yours!

That is one way of looking at it, why do you feel this way? Is the reason that you think this die to the way that they treat you. Could you tell me this just for clarification on your state of mind? Are you happy or are you sad and upset with yourself could you please tell me this so that we can help you because you need help to get out of this situation because if you can then it will help us identify your problems. And to help you get back into the road to success to become on the track to life again.
