Depressed because of laughter

Last night, I was talking with my family. My mom was saying she that she thought I didn't know something so I answered that I knew it but when I gave the answer, I got it wrong the first time and I corrected myself immediantly and my family laughed at me. I was having such a good day until that happened.


Later, I teased my mom but I didn't smile while doing it because I was so depressed so she thought I was just being mean. I told her I was just playing with her but she wouldn't listen.


Why am I so depressed? I should be used to this!

I'm also kind of depressed because I only have two friends. One of them won't open up to me about her problems. I know about them but she doesn't seem to trust me enough to tell me about them. The other lies to me a lot and she doesn't seem to know that I know she's lying. I don't want to tell her that I know and I don't want to talk to my other friend if she won't open up to me.

It's not you. They are my only friends I see that aren't on the internet.
I want to be friends with people, no matter what is happening in their lives or what their background is. You can open up to me as much as you need :)

Yes, you have and I am so sorry about it.
Did you guys expect it at all? Did you know why he did it?
I've never had that happen to me, but I can understand how painful it can be. I hope some day you can be at peace with it.
I'm praying for you!
