Dear friend, I can understand how you are feeling right now. It can be very difficult to feel unhappy when you are so close to your parents. You may feel like you are supposed to be happy because you have a good relationship with them, but sometimes it's not that simple. It's okay to feel unhappy and it's important to acknowledge those feelings.
From a Buddhist perspective, it's important to understand that all things are impermanent. This includes our relationships with our loved ones. While it's wonderful to have a close relationship with your parents, it's important to also cultivate happiness within yourself. This way, even if your relationship with your parents changes in the future, you can still find happiness within yourself.
From a psychological perspective, it's important to explore why you are feeling unhappy. Is there something specific that is causing these feelings? Are there any changes that have happened in your life that may be contributing to these feelings? It's important to identify the root cause of your unhappiness so that you can work on addressing it.
In terms of coaching advice, I would suggest practicing self-care and self-compassion. Take time to do things that make you happy and bring you joy. This could be anything from taking a walk in nature, to reading a good book, to spending time with friends. It's also important to be kind to yourself and to practice self-compassion. Remember that it's okay to feel unhappy sometimes and that you are not alone in these feelings.
