My feelings aren t valid

It feels if my emotions aren't alright to feel. I've grown up in a really nice surrounding (nice parents, house, therapist, etc). But I always felt I wasn't completely happy in life, I always felt sad and cried after an event and I don't know why. My friends and family constantly tell me I live such a great life with people who love me and being quite rich compared to my friends. And whenever I try to tell people about my feelings they always brush it off and say its me going through puberty, the thing is I started puberty 4 years ago. I've had everything handed to me yet I still feel empty. It feels as if I'm being punished for feeling sad. I also have anxiety as well (I have autism) which makes my situation worse. I feel like I'm being babied constantly. Everyone treats me as if I'm special needs, in reality I'm fully here. It feels degrading knowing I'm being classed as something I'm not! And then they have the need to feel suddenly shocked when I self-harm myself, then they have the audacity to ask why when I could've talked to them, but never take me seriously. And honestly compared to most people my situation doesn't seem half as bad, which I agree entirely. But I want to be taken serious, despite how bad or good my background is. Thank you for reading this if you are, I hope you get out of whatever tough situation you're in! :)
