Are you the black sheep in your family?

My family hates me, and most of the time I hate them.
I'm the black sheep.
:/
 
My parents surely think I am. They're always telling me how they think they picked up the wrong kid at the hospital. Maybe it's because I can spend hours in front of the computer on the same website without any food, drinks or company...

O_o
 
By far, I'm the black sheep in my family. To them I'm weird and almost foreign simply because I'm interested in things they don't understand or are afraid of more or less. :\ Everyone else thinks I'm just an oddball, and they mean it.

For example, I'm an atheist while my parents are very Christian (my dad at least, my mom could care less either way). I'm also into things such as computers and video games, which they just don't quite get the idea behind my interest.

Regardless, I don't care about what they think. I'm just glad that my friends and my brother accept me and enjoy me for who I am. Not only that, but my mom appears to be accepting me more and more. I guess my dad just won't completely understand me, not even on the day he dies.
 
My only other boy cousin is a billion years older than me, so it is usually me with all of my girl cousins. So, yes, I guess I am to some extent.
 
Hmmmm I'm not really sure about in my family, we seem a more normal branch of the family.

Outside of my family though, I'm always the blacksheep, both online and offline.

I guess I'm the black sheep in this respect:

My mother's family are farmers.
My dad's family were shepherds (now in the business of transport and quarrying).

I'm an IT Technician \o/

Also, all of my generation has been two children, and I'm the only single child.
 
Hmm I don't think I am. I get on well with my brothers and sisters, we have our arugments like everyone else, but we get on well. Although my parents think I'm weird for liking Pokemon and anime in general, all of us are weird in our way, I think. My family are the most important people to me. I don't ever see my cousins because they either live in America or Birmingham or somewhere.
 
No, I wouldn't say I am... No member of my immediate family is - at least I think no one feels like beeing a black sheep. Even others not-so-immediate family members i know seem not to be in my eyes. I hope none of them feels that way.:paranoid:
 
I'm definitely not the black sheep in my family, though it's not all too great. I'm constantly grilled on my homework: when I get a B on anything, my family tells me "Why the B? Are you slacking? Maybe you're on the computer too much, you should go get extra help!" Everyone has terribly high expectations of me, and I always feel like I have a ton of bricks on my shoulder trying to meet them. I may have things going for me, but it's not a walk in the park. :/
 
All you people that hate your family suck. Go an make up with them right now!
 
Well, I tend to stay away from my family, usually keeping things to myself on the computer and don't do many social activities. Although my brother is like that too.
Really, I think that noone is a black sheep of any family, everyone is different when it comes to family life so either everyone is the black sheep, or noone is.
 
No way I have a cousin that has like been to drug court, has like a wife, a kid, and he is like only 17 years old, and he has a second kid on the way but he doesn't even know if the kid is his, and then his sister is like deluded and she thinks that she is gonna "make it" in New York City, and her parents are like paying for everything there, I laughed so hard when she had to move from the city into Queens. lol
 
....Not at all. I'm the only person who has any "useful" talent in my family... xD; I'm an okay singer, I can draw, photograph, I'm a graphics artist, I play several different instruments... my brother plays 2 and he's a junior.
I love it. Dad always going "why can't you be more like your sister"
...It's funny 8D
 
I'm not looked down upon, nor am I looked up upon. I'm just.. a child and I love my family and they love me. We don't have standings, and we won't for a long, long time... if ever. If we did, I wouldn't be looked down upon. My family said I have a good talent at sport and if I tried, I could get anywhere with any sport. I've been asked to go play State Basketball and I turned that down because at the time, something came up.

Depending what you mean by Black Sheep.

Even if I am the oldest, I still feel treated like an idiot around the house. I get punished for the mistakes of my Bro "Because I'm the older one". Well what the hell? Didn't you say I could ignore that brat? :/

Every few months my dad comes check out my PC for no reason at all, and he keeps complaining "You have spyware all over, this is a virus, don't download junk! This is diguised PenDejo!" I admit the Zango case was a mistake but... how the fudge are a few games and image editing software classified as Spyware? Just because I have a million desktop Icons doesn't mean I have junk and viruses. And just because I enjoy the way my PC is doesn't mean he can call me a pendejo. Sometimes I feel like he's the one making the mistakes and messing up by himself (He is 51, what else did you expect?).

And my brother is plainly a Football field large shard of hell, period.

Being the oldest is just too much pressure. If I was an only child, maybe I would feel better about my position in the family.

That's exactly what I'm through now. Besides the computer part because well no one in my family understands computers so I'm lucky about that.
 
I'm an only child, but in comparison to my general family? I'm definately the black sheep. Because I'm not a fan of "fahionable clothes" and "fashionable lifestyles". I suppose my grades are pretty good, though. And I can play an instrument. Actually, I am really different from my family... OH MY GOD, MAYBE I'M ADOPTED!
Or not.
 
My family doesn't hate me, but I am radically different from any of them, my sexuality, religious views, way of being is all different
 
I'm rude, lazy and refuse to be invovled in many things... The black sheep indeed.
 
Yeah, in some ways, I am.

My father yells at me every chance I get for no reason. He always tells me I'm worthless and can't do anything and will never get anywhere in my life. And his parents (my grandparents) dislike me and what I want to be when I grow up- an animator.

I'm lucky enough though that my mom cares about me and always sticks up for me and my other family members including my brother are nice to me.
 
I am not the black sheep but I am different enough to be the purple lizard. Probably the only one who cannot bear to be part of the family
