As someone said before me, I agree that it sounds like you are living in a toxic enviroment. You said you don't know why people think you are young, and I don't know how old you are, but as someone who grew up with one (possibly 2) narcissistic parents I understand a little how you feel. If possible you need to get yourself into a good church that will help you understand what actual love is, which I'm not saying I fully understand yet myself. Find yourself some good christian friends who love you and spend time with them, and less time with your family. The other thing is since you say you can't leave, fill your space with uplifting music, find something you can immerse yourself in. When I was a kid that's why I loved books so much. If you can get a library card and find some books you might like to read do it girl. Still honor your parents even when its hard. If it's possible, try to get yourself hired with a good job and look for a few roommates to make expenses cheaper. Hang in there and cling to Jesus. I promise you without a doubt he WILL carry you through. I'm here if you ever need to talk.

Move out.
This may be a clue as to why they are so rough with you. You asked advice and when you didn't like it you got upon your emotions, and accused someone of calling you names. She did not call you anything, she said you sound immature. This type of behavior tends to draw negative reactions.
The problem with asking advice on personal relationship issues is that we don't know, or have the ability to know them. Neither can we speak to them any correction. We can only speak to the one that we are speaking too. So that means you.

Julie, I don't see where people are calling you names or giving you bad attention, I'm sorry you feel that way. It seems like people are just trying to get more info so they can understand better what is happening so they can give you solid advice. I have a few questions myself.....you only refer to your family.....is this your siblings?, all of them?....is it your parents?.....is it extended family? First of all, if you are back in your parents home, you need to listen to and respect them, live by their rules, or find a way to leave. I don't know if they are the problem or someone else, but you always give respect to your parents, especially in their home. Now if the problem is siblings, I would find it helpful to know if it's all of them, younger or older, has it always been that way or just recently? I personally have never gotten along with one of my sisters, and in recent years it has become so difficult that I finally decided I don't need that toxic person in my life and I have no contact with her. I am 5 years older than her, there is also an older brother and another sister younger than her. I get along fine with the other 2 siblings, but "Mary", the sister I don't get along with is kind of in control, and they go along with her on most stuff. She has the personality that if you are not like her, she won't like you. She has criticized me all my life, on things that are really none of her business. Families not getting along is not unusual. I recommend you keep reading your Bible, praying, going to church, and journaling....these are all good things for the mind and soul when we are having difficult times.
I think when someone's profile says "guest" they left the site. Leastways I'm pretty sure that guests can't post.
The only people I would personally avoid is people that are intentionally "toxic" ...as in the get a pleasure out of hurting you.
This type of person certainly avoid. Other than that? There's almost always some way that you can be an image bearer or grow into that with far flung personality types...consider it training
There are VERY few people that I've intentionally cut of all contact with. The Lord does have a way of moving certain people out of my path though for sure.
