The privacy of the living is tightly protected on the FamilySearch collaborative Family Tree. You should not find your profile in the FS FT for that reason.
And, I don't add personal details for living people to this tree.
You may find records documenting your life, such as Public Records indexes, but your birth record will be private for at least 100 years after the year of your birth.

Couple more points:
Firstly, you are likely to find a moderator removing many of the names from your post (they will leave Marie as it's part of your username). If you wish the Community to look into this matter further, it would be best to post links to the FamilySearch Historical Records you found (assuming that's what they are).
Secondly, are you certain that the Records you have found relate to you and to your family members, rather than to other people with similar names?

My advice Marie is to go to a familysearch center near you. There are persons there who can help you find your dad on the family tree. I think I found him as Joseph James Llorca GTDP-GJ6. It doesn't look confused to me.
The only thing I saw which might be the confusion you mentioned. I think you tried to add a photo or some other photo of a document to his Source page. The problem is it should have been added to his Memories page instead. Just a little problem that can be easily fixed. But you will need someone beside you to guide you thru the process. If you do not know where a FamilySearch center is located near your, call the FS Support # 866-406-1830. Give them your city or address and they can find the nearest one to you and hours they are open. Remember the holidays might affect their schedule. Be sure to give the his ID GTDP-GJ6. He can be easily located with that number.
I wish you a very Happy Holidays and much joy in discovering more relatives and family.

@Marie46101 The FamilySearch Family Tree is open-edit and collaborative. The faraway goal is to have only one profile for each person who has ever lived.
In its current state, the tree may contain many duplicate profiles for any individual as well as many same-named people who have been confused and conflated with others.
And, for records, there may be hundreds of records for a person of a similar name to the one you are researching. It takes time and patience to determine which record belongs to which (if any) person.

Red underlines are most likely your browser's spell check; they definitely have nothing to do with FamilySearch.
As Ćine said, profiles for the living in the collaborative Family Tree are not publicly visible. Only the person who created a living person's profile can see or do anything with that profile.
The Historical Records collections, however, include many documents about living people, because laws vary widely about what constitutes private versus public information. In California, for example, births are public info, while in New York, the official record of a birth is private for at least a century. But in either place, the family could submit a newspaper announcement of a birth or marriage, making that data public regardless of the local laws.
There are collections on FamilySearch (and on all of the other genealogy sites, too) that come from third-party data aggregators: companies that comb through public records of various sorts (such as tax lists and phone books) and match up the records that their algorithms say are for the same person. As you doubtless are aware if you've ever checked your credit reports, public records mangle people's names and other information All The Time. This means that the data aggregator companies get things Completely Wrong very frequently. I consider this a feature, not a flaw: it protects my actual personally-identifying information from identity thieves.
Another frequent source of not-quite-correct public information is censuses. Between the person reporting the information, the enumerator, and the indexer (and for the 1950 U.S. census, the computer), there are a lot of opportunities for mistakes. The person making the report may have misremembered, or simplified, or even made stuff up out of whole cloth. The enumerator may have misheard or had a slip of the pen, or made assumptions. The indexer (and/or the computer) may have misread the enumerator's handwriting, or typed things in the wrong field, or made typos or any number of other errors.
In fact, the description of what can go wrong in a census can be generalized: no document or other record ā of any sort ā should ever be taken as "Gospel". There are always too many opportunities for errors.

if this in fact is true what you say here ! Then Who is to say any of this Tree isnāt Gospel? Or based on hardcore evidence? We canāt see real facts? It goes basically on stand point of what we can recall on our parents ! And if we are of my age ā say me for instance 59 and not well in health and recall some Major life events want to see if there true But a few bits and pieces come back and youāre own facts canāt be found ! Now where and how does that lead to everyone else who is gone and thereās is okay basically semi okay if even that ? Know thatās not an

I assume it's my second point you're questioning. I mentioned this because, given the enormous coverage of both the Tree and FS' Historical Records, it's often the case that multiple families are present with similar names and potentially in similar locations too. If you are happy this has not happened here, then that's fine and please just ignore me.
(I wasn't talking specifically about how correct any of the data in the Tree might be.)

Marie,
Again please visit a Family History Center near you someone will show you how to use familysearch. Using pieces of information that you know, like a birth date, you can find out more by matching other persons in other records with that same birth date.
it will all get easier if you have someone by your side when searching.
Try it.1
