Family help: I seem to have a problem with my family. - Help.com

I seem to have a problem with my family.

Not that they have ever done anything to make me hate them, I mean they’re good people for the most part, and I have no reason to dislike them, but I do. I can’t even begin to describe how much of a distaste I have either, I feel awkward around my family at all times and more or less just want to get away, forget them and them forget me. I hate the thought of my parents/family asking me what I’ve been up to, who I’ve been with if I have a girlfriend or anything of the sort, I want them all out of my life..or I want out of theirs more or less. I know it sounds extremely angsty, but I don’t want to hear from them, their thoughts and especially their opinions and advice dealing with me. When I graduate I hope I can just get out and leave, but I don’t know where to, or what to do nor what kind of a career that I would want. It’s kind of funny, though considering they have never done anything for me to dislike them in such a way but does anybody have ideas as to what I could do? I don’t want to join the army, I doubt I would have enough money to pay for college on my own, and I actually hope of one day becoming a Canadian citizen if it becomes possible for me to do so.

All I got to say is you’d better enjoy being with them. There may come a day which you won’t be able to speak or be around them and you will regret it. Some people aren’t as lucky as you, see I don’t even have a family so i’d do anything to have a little taste of what you have. Don’t take advantage of what you have, for when you loose it you will then realise how precious it was and wished you did more to enjoy it.

Although I definitely agree with the previous comment, I understand the feeling of needing to be away from your family. Maybe that’s all you really need. just a little while away as a break. Two weeks away can really do wonders. Stay at a friend’s house or another family members.

Family is precious. yet so is privacy, Learn to balance both, don’t become just as “bad” as they are. maybe sort some of your own issues out first

You may find all it’ll take is a year living away from them for you to appreciate them. My last year living at home was my hardest.

I thought about it, and realized that I feel the same way about my friends most of the time, perhaps it’s just people I dislike.
