They give too much support and its annoying Not sure Sometimes i feel uncomfortable talking about the future because it makes me anxious , however sometimes i feel con dent and know that i just need to start researching or learning to do the thing i want to do We just don ' t talk about it My mum has her own plans for my future Parents don ' t really talk about those type of things with me because they believe i ' m capable when actually i ' m unsure My parents don ' t agree with my ' life choices ' since I came out as transgender . I have two disabled siblings who take priority right now . They want me to ' do what i want ' even when i ' m unsure and asking for a second opinion Tense relationship with parents / carers Whenever i ask them what i could do they always say anything which doesn ' t help because anything is everything and i need to narrow it down Instead of helping me choose what I want its mainly what they think i would do which isn ' t best for me They just aren ' t interested in me . Or if they ask me what plans i have they laugh or make fun when I say I ' m unsure or if i say something I ' m interested in I don ' t know or care

I don ' t really share much with my immediate family I don ' t usually ask for support . Don ' t need it My parents always support me I don ' t talk because nothing matters Because we don ' t talk about stuff like that Also my parent didn ' t go to university so she can ' t help with questions I have about it . I don ' t care enough to ask them They didn ' t go to university so don ' t understand the system or how hard it is to make a medical application We just don ' t talk about it / not that close with parents
