Question Posted Sunday August 13 2006, 9:16 pm

I don't know if this could go in this category because there's no category for personal problems. MY problem is that I can't take it anymore when people act like I'm their bitch. They don't really act it but I see expressions in their face that tells me and it makes me mad. I think it's wrong and disrespectful and I want them to stop already. Been going on for 2 years and I wish people would get over it. Then my family keeps comparing me with some group of people that I really hate. I am 19 years old.

Speak up for yourself.

It's very difficult to advise someone who isn't happy with the expressions on others faces, it seems very possible to me that you are inferring more from their expression then they really mean, but I do know that people never change and cannot treat you better until you tell them you are unhappy.

Try and stay calm and express exactly what it is that is bothering you. Saying things like it's in their expression or they are treating you like their bitch are very very very vague. People can't fix things if they have no clue what you are talking about! You need to be really specific or people have trouble changing. See if you can fit your complaints into a sentence like this "I don't like it when you say/do "blank". I feel really hurt by it. Could you please do "blank" instead?"

An expression is a hard thing to change though, and if that is really the only thing that is bothering you (you did say it was nothing that they *did* that was the problem) you might be happier if you simply didn't look the offending parties in the face when you speak to them.

If there is a deeper issue here, a reason you think they are failing to respect you, then you should probably try and speak to them about that rather then focusing on something like the look on thier faces.

Good Luck.
