Everytime we do something they drive me crazy and i wind up getting upset and catching an attitude and I always tell myself that I wont do it again. For example, today we went to a Pumpkin lighting patch with different carved pumpkins, I started taking alot of photos, my Mom saw me yet she keeps walking ahead of me and i keep loosing her. I told her i want to take photos, she waits with me but then again walks far ahead. Then my brother brings up his friends from 20 yrs ago who i had a bad experience with and my whole night is ruined because i have bad flashbacks.
Then we go to the gift store and My mom is starring at a pen for 10 minutes debating if she should buy it. I walked away and looked around on my own.
I told her later, why did you keep walking ahead of me, she says because you didnt say you were taking pics, I said i told you and she says you have to keep telling me or else i wont know and you had me walking alone, I said you dont loo beside you?

How big was this pumpkin patch that you were worried about "losing" her? Or was it that you wanted her to stay with you and keep you company while you took the photos? You were upset with your mom because she didn't stay long enough with you for the photos, but you got upset with her and walked away when she took too long looking at a pen. Is it fair that you expect her to be with you for as long as you'd like, but that you can walk around on your own if she takes too long to look at something? Your walking away sounds like you consider it a punishment for her taking so long. If that's the case, perhaps you thought of her leaving you at the pumpkins was also a punishment?
Look at the situation without all the intricacies and you may see that you have perhaps unrealistic expectations of your family and that you are misinterpreting their actions as hostile or difficult toward you. I suspect they aren't; but that you are maybe being overly sensitive?
Or...just get a watch and "meet up" from time to time when you're on the outings, so everyone can go their separate ways without "losing" each other or being aggravated by slow browsers.

Your brother gets his kicks by skill of pulling your chain... era. you should study to not provide him the responses he's finding for. If he says something cruddy, you in basic terms say something like "nicely in case you would be like that, i don't ought to positioned up with you!" after which you're making your self scarce. you will stop being his aim and he will pass directly to a various aim. If maximum folk of this interest happens formerly your mum and dad get living house, evaluate stepping into some after-college extracurricular events, or going to a chum's living house to do homework, in order that which you have a valid excuse to not be living house till after your mum and dad have arrived.

This is so simple that you won't believe it.
Just stop.
The only reason that you have these reactions with your family is because you can. And it works. You get the reaction you want because you are the expected result.
Just stop.
If you want a new reaction then just stop.
You be different and don't expect anything.
Just stop.

Just love them, sweetie, and understand that everybody has their little ways that rub somebody the wrong way, even you. Forgive them and overlook their little flaws for the sake of the love and kinship you all share. When they do something screwy, just focus on how wonderful it is to have real family.
God bless you!

Don't shop with them. do your shopping on your own. I do. It's much better. Drives me mad when I am with other people, they are looking at one thing, and I am looking at another, and they are not interested in what I am doing. I learnt that long ago. Shop alone.
