I'm early 20s and living at home with my parents and siblings. I'm planning on moving out later this year.
I am struggling with perfectionism and imposter syndrome at work and so I'm a little more sensitive than I usually am and I have noticed how much it feels like my parents are criticising and belittling me but I'm not sure if it's just because I'm overly sensitive or whether they are actually being overly critical.
Here is an example. This morning I was getting ready for work and when making my lunch I was washing fruit and got some water on the worktop without realising. My Mum then walks in and starts complaining that I got water everywhere saying "Ugh! You got water everywhere" I apologised and said I didn't notice and she still carries on complaining about it, it was only a tiny amount of water. I always clean up after myself in the kitchen anyway so I would have got to it when I wiped the surfaces after finishing making lunch. Then my Dad went to open the front door and our puppy was right next to him; our puppy is still being trained for recall and she will run out the front door if she gets the chance so we always have to make sure she's secure before opening the front door. I just said "Oh careful, X is right next to you!" and he shouts back "I f*cking know, I'm not stupid" I said I was only trying to help... Then when I was in the shower he was busy doing something and the doorbell went for a delivery he had been waiting for and he shouted at me because I couldn't answer the door as I was in the shower and starts being passive aggressive about me not answering the doorbell I didn't hear as if I have deliberately done it to annoy him. Then my Mum later tells me how annoyed my Dad is and how much he has been complaining that I didn't answer the door as he was so busy and nearly missed the delivery.
Obviously water on the kitchen counter and answering the door are small things but this is just an example of an average morning. Am I being too sensitive to find these kind of encounters hurtful?
