Hello @aliali, I feel that what @gingerw has said about the list is true. Your family has been unduly critical of you and I'm not sure that giving them another opportunity to criticize you would be at all helpful.

Instead, why don't you tell them of one of their positive characteristics and then ask them to tell you one of the positive characteristics that they see in your life? In other words, write affirmations for each other! This may not change their attitude overnight but in time, if you keep telling them something good about themselves and then ask them to tell you something good about yourself, it might eventually turn their critical attitudes toward something more positive.

It might be worth a try to just see how it works.
