A question about my karma and how it’s affecting me I come from a very well off family but I have issues with my parents even though I’m very grateful for everything I have,I’m having a problem with self acceptance beacuse of them which took me a very long time to get over. My family in general made fun of my skin colour and the way I look (which even though sounds silly hurt me a lot) and they always give importance to class and society and are very pretentious which forces me to behave in a certain way which is not me and my personality.Even though I feel like I have everything I feel claustrophobic and caged.Will I attract bad karma for feeling like this for being ungrateful to the people who gave life to me?
Buddhism teaches the gift of Dhamma (moral &amp; spiritual truth) is the best of gifts. Buddhism also praises when a person establishes their immoral parents in the Dhamma (AN 2.31-32). Buddhism teaches parents can have children who are morally superior to the parents (Iti 74). Buddhism teaches neither father nor mother can do oneself a greater good than one's own well-directed mind (Dhp 43). 

While your parents have done many good things for you, their criticisms of you are unrelated to Dhamma; therefore their criticism is both unnecessary &amp; immoral. If the Gotama (who become The Buddha) did everything his parents expected of him, there would have not been a "Buddha" or "Buddhism". 

In Buddhism, our self-esteem is based in our following of the Buddhist path, such as our generosity, our loving-kindness &amp; our good harmless deeds towards ourself &amp; others.

In summary, you should be grateful towards the "good things" your parents have provided &amp; done for you; but you are not to be grateful towards any bad things. Instead, you should have concern for the welfare of your parents when they do bad things and you should ensure you aspire you do not repeat any unwholesome deeds of your parents. 


  Mother &amp; father do much for their children. They care for them, they
  nourish them, they introduce them to this world. But anyone who rouses
  his unbelieving mother &amp; father, settles &amp; establishes them in
  conviction; rouses his unvirtuous mother &amp; father, settles &amp;
  establishes them in virtue; rouses his stingy mother &amp; father, settles
  &amp; establishes them in generosity; rouses his foolish mother &amp; father,
  settles &amp; establishes them in wisdom: To this extent one pays &amp;
  repays one's mother &amp; father.
  
  AN 2.31-32
  
  
  
  Neither mother, father, nor any other relative can do one greater good than one's own well-directed mind.
