Heh... I know exactly what you're talking about, especially with the whole "bottling up your feelings" problem... I'm just like you, I always feel insignificant... like I'm making a big deal out of nothing, yet I still can't help but feel bad... and then I don't want to bring it up to the person in question, and after awhile these emotions just swell and explode... it's not pleasant, eh?
Looking over the little conflict with your mom [and knowing of other confrontations you and her get into], I really think you should try to calm down when talking to her. Sometimes, you just have to bite your lip, say "yes'm" and nod. It's how I deal with my mother because I know if I start arguing, even if I KNOW I'm right, she will not stop until I give up.
I know this sounds like some pretty shoddy adivce, but trust me, the faster you agree to your mom, the smoother things will go over. And the mimicking thing? Do you really wonder why your mom is such a bitch to you sometimes? This may sound hackneyed and cliched, but you catch more flies with honey than vinegar. If you stop the mimicking, the fighting, and arguing, then maybe she'll be nicer to you.
I dunno, all this stuff sounds like how I used to argue with my mom, but I learned quickly that I can say yes to her face and curse behind her back much easier than get in a lengthy arguement with her.
I, too, often feel inferior to those I interact with. And I also tend to bottle my feelings about this up inside. Strangely enough, my reaction to all this turned out a bit differently. I just repressed it all and stopped caring. Problem is it may have worked a little TOO well. Now I often walk around feeling completely devoid of emotion. ...Good or bad. ...About anything. Makes socializing out in the real world an awkward experience.
