I love how hardworking they are for me, I love how they spoil me with gifts, and I don’t want to let them down. I feel this way because I have trepidation about a potential devastating event happening. I don’t want it to ruin my life because it’ll obviously wreck them emotionally. I don’t want to receive bad results because of them
hey @user7467, i hear how deeply you care about your parents and that’s honestly so sweet… the way you describe them, what they’ve done for you, and how much you don’t want to let them down, rlly shows how much love & gratitude you have for them.
you mentioned having trepidation about a potential devastating event – i’m just curious what that might relate to? is it sth like upcoming exam results, future plans, or sth else ?
if you don’t feel comfortable sharing, that’s also completely okay! i just want you to know: your worth isn’t tied to results or achievements. your parents love you for you, not just what you do. even if things don’t go perfectly, it doesn’t erase all the love and effort that already exists between y’all. wishing you all the besttt

Hello @user7467 Thank you for sharing this. It’s really touching to see how much love and appreciation you have for your parents. The way you talk about their hard work and how they care for you shows how much they mean to you, and it’s completely understandable that you don’t want to disappoint them. That kind of pressure can feel really heavy at times.
The worry you’re feeling about a potential devastating event sounds really stressful, and it makes sense that it’s been on your mind. Do you feel like it’s tied to something specific you’re expecting, or more of a general fear that something might go wrong? Sometimes our minds create those “what if” scenarios when we care deeply about the people we love.
Even if things don’t go exactly how you hope, like with results or outcomes, it sounds like your parents love you for who you are, not just for what you achieve. Their actions show that they’d still care for you no matter what happens. You’re doing your best, and that’s already something to be proud of.

Hi guys, tysm for all your heartwarming responses
My parents had to pay an almost 10k sgd fine for what my brother did, so I really don’t want to bring my worry up to them so they can worry with me, I hate this plight that I’m in
They don’t seem interested in talking about this fine with me, so I don’t know how they feel about this, I really don’t want to burden them again

Hi there, thanks for sharing your feelings.
It’s clear how much you care about your parents, and that love shows in everything you just shared. Wanting to protect them and not add to their worries is such a natural reaction, especially after seeing what they went through with your brother. But carrying all of this fear alone sounds really heavy, and you don’t deserve to sit with that by yourself.
Your parents’ strength and love for you don’t disappear because of one difficult situation or one set of results. You’re not a burden to them, even if it feels that way right now. They may not bring up the fine simply because they don’t want you to stress about it, not because they’re upset with you.
You’re trying so hard to do right by them, and that already shows how much heart you have. It might help to share just a little of what you’re feeling with someone you trust, even if it’s not your parents right away. Just remember, you’re not alone in this:)
