How to deal with a parent that is always criticizing you?

My father always finds way to bring up something bad about me no matter what the topic. whenever we talk it always ends in him turning a conversation into somehow making a mean remark about me.





nothing is ever good enough for him and even finds ways to criticize something good ive done.





How do I deal with him? and no i cannot move out yet.How to deal with a parent that is always criticizing you?
If sitting down and having a one on one with him wont work there's not a whole lot you can do.





If it were me every time he did it i would simply say, yeah we know how you feel about me. If he questions it, repeat that he's never happy no matter how well you do but its ok because you're proud of your achievments. Then change the topic and act like his opinion doesn't bother you. If he does this in front of people i would say the same thing in front of them also. Just say it casually not in an accusatory tone. It will get to him and he'll either stop or think about what he's saying.How to deal with a parent that is always criticizing you?
It sounds like he doesn't know how to show you any affection or praise, but he still loves you. He probably has high expectations of you because he thinks very highly of you, but he just doesn't know how to translate that into treating you right. Is your mom in the picture? Discuss this with someone else close to him that might be a little more sensitive to your feelings. Maybe they can talk some sense into him or at least provide you with the nurturing that you deserve and need. Find a way to talk to him about all of this without making him feel like he is being attacked.
i would try sitting down and having a serious talk about it and if it doesnt work just try your best to ignore it or change the subject when it gets to that point. do your best to not listen and/or take any of it to heart, ok? =] keep your head up
I don't know if there is anything you can do about it but try not to take it to heart. If you confront him it will likely make him defensive and angry. Just Don't Believe Him! Okay!
Whatever you do, don't say shut up. They like that.


Second, whenever that happens, just walk away. Tell him how you feel.
I WOULD TELL HIM TO STOP TALKING ABOUT YOU BEHIND YOUR BACK AND I AM SAYING THIS BECAUSE MY STEPDAD TALKS BAD ABOUT ME TO
