How are you around your family?

<p>Around my friends I am caring and nonjudgmental. Around family I am brutally honest and overly critical. It's not that I'm putting up a mask, more that I've developed different habits around different people. How do you act with your family, and is it different from how you act otherwise? How does your family react to your actions?</p>

<p>Hahaa I feel the same way! I’m so nice and caring towards my friends but I’m always on edge around my mom and sister. Maybe because it’s just been 17 years too long and I’m full of teenage angst and ready to leave the nest :p</p>

<p>Around my family, I would consider myself anti-social and very angry with “society.” Well, that’s what they tell me at least. For example, if we have a family gathering I always roll my eyes if someone says something to me and leave the room. I’m mostly locked up in my room or hanging out with friends. Bleh. My family also thinks that I’ll be the one to shoot myself and that I need to gain admittance into a psychiatric ward. Don’t you love my family? I know I do. c:</p>

<p>I act like an eight-year-old around my mom sometimes. Haha. Other than that, I’m normal with her. Around my dad, my angsty-teenager instincts come out and I snap at him and stuff. We have an odd relationship…the more time we spend together, the less irritated I get with him. But I tend to get annoyed with him really easily, so we don’t end up hanging out. Etc.</p>

<p>I’m a teenage beeyotch to my mom sometimes, but we generally get along and I act normal. I mean, no dirty jokes or bad words… I’m just chill.</p>

<p>I don’t talk to my dad at all, even if his room is six feet from mine. (Yep, my parents don’t sleep in the same room. That’s what I call L O V E)</p>

<p>

Are you me? :slight_smile: I barely talk to my father and generally avoid him if at all possible. Additionally, my parents also loathe each other. The last comment I heard them make to each other today was something like “You’re an awful person,” “Well, so are you.” My mother is moving 500 miles away, yet my father refuses to divorce, just, I think, to spite her. I mean, he told my sister and me before, during one of the many times my mother was thinking about divorce, that he didn’t believe in it, but this is his second marriage.</p>

<p>I’m usually really adoring around my sister and otherwise the same person I am with everyone else. A bit more insane though. When I’m with all of my siblings, the insanity factor goes up. Flanderization, fo sho. With my mother, I’m pretty much the same, except that I can be childish – she is only Mommy, Materji, or Mother and I have no qualms about displays of affection that many would call immature – didactic, or sometimes a bit mean/condescending. My mother acts so much younger than she is – mostly in a good way – so she’s sometimes given to outbursts I often find annoying and embarrassing in public (there was an awful incident in Paris in December), but I am usually okay with in private.</p>

<p>With my father I’m, as aforementioned, silent and dour. It’s nothing like how I am with anyone else. When I need or want things – since he seems to be interested in spoiling me in order to regain my love– or when I start getting that “My mother and sister will kill me if I don’t talk to him soon” feeling, I’m quietly sweet but easily annoyed.</p>

<p>omg saame. I was skyping a friend the other day and my parents commented on how “fake” i acted around her. I wasn’t acting fake, I just act different. </p>

<p>Around my friends, I’m kind of weird, very opinionated, I swear a lot, and I’m just more…idk.</p>

<p>I don’t swear around my family, and I’m more of “good daughter”. I’m also less likely to state my strong opinions and I’m generally more subdued and aloof.</p>

<p>I’m the *****. Everywhere</p>
