"You feel good about that? You feel good admitting that?"

I told him no, but I was being honest, I wasn't going to lie.

He wasn't supportive...

He made me feel like a baby, and really stupid for it.
I hate that I care, but I do. I've been working on it...but like.
It's not the easiest thing when you're home-schooled and not around people.
How am I supposed to learn to deflect and ignore things people say and think if I'm home 24/7?

It's not easy.
But he doesn't care...neither does my mom.

I'd like to know how to deal with it...and how to stop caring what people think.

Ah realize no one is perfect, and understand that your Dad has his own problems. Let it roll of your back, who cares what they think if they don't give a damn, you shouldn't either.

There isn't anything wrong with caring about what other people care about you, and in all honesty almost everyone cares even if it's in the slightest bit. For him to act like that is out of pure stupidity, and you shouldn't let him and his response to how you feel about how others care get you down, because it is out of ignorance and idiocy.

I honestly don't feel that I'm capable giving you advice on how to cope with it, because honestly I'm still searching for that, but what I have learned is that even if some people judge you, they don't fully know you and are judging you on a first impression, and therefore they are getting the base values rather than what truly matters in and about you. My friends and your true friends will never stop caring, and you should hold them true to yourself. I know you say you don't get around people often, but I think it'd be best if you tried to get involved in community events such as athletics, etc. :)
