<p>So today my dad told me that I basically "use the house as a hotel." To my surprise, I found that it's actually quite true. I come down for dinner, for food.. maybe just to go to the basement to practice violin or something.. it's not that I'm antisocial, it's just that I've never opened up to my family that much, except my brother. It's sad that I'm just beginning to realize this but my parents don't really know who I am in school, to my peers, etc. They wouldn't be able to define my character either and they don't know my friends. If asked "What is your son like?" my dad would not be able to answer aptly. </p>
<p>Suddenly I feel that I'm too independent, a trait that I used to take pride in. It's the way I've been raised, and in retrospective, it's kind of a shame. </p>
<p>ehh, somewhat. They also complain about us not contributing to the household, but that’s because we’re always busy and when we’re not, er… we’re lazy/worn out haha. I’m guessing you’re asian?</p>
<p>Haha I don’t even use my house as a rest stop anymore, been living with a friend for a while now. But I don’t know, that’s not because of my personality, my situation is because of my parents’ (lack of) willingness to treat me as a human.
Regardless, if you ever want to vent to someone about family stuff, you can send a PM my way.</p>
<p>Well the most sad thing about it that my dad values family and in retrospective I see that he’s tried to open up to me and failed miserably. It must be depressing for him, to not even know who I am </p>
<p>Anyways, it makes me feel better that a lot of CC kids can relate</p>
