I was just wondering if anyone else here is not really family orientated? I just find myself annoyed with my family really due to the fact that they used to be really controlling when I was younger. I'm 19 now and still find it a hassle to be around them. Idk I just feel annoyed being around them because everything I do such as hanging with friends/ partying ends up getting back to them, and then I'm guessing my mom tells everyone in my family and it creates so much drama. I can tell the look on their faces basically saying "I'm so disappointed with you. " it's like every time I go to a family gathering and walk into the house they look like there on the verge of crying. It pisses me off so much to the point I don't wanna be around them. I mean Im going to college and doing what I'm supposed to do. Yea I go party, smoke weed, drink do other drugs sometimes but I'm still handling my shit. I just don't understand. Sorry for the rant. Just wondering if anyone else here has similar problems and is not much of a family orientated person.

Not me. I have an amazing family. I wouldn't be here (alive) today without them. Honestly, this break-up nearly killed me. They gave me the strength and support to get me through it. Now, I'm going to reward myself and them by being my best possible self and finding the happiness I've always felt I deserved but never strove to actively achieve.

It sucks that you had a controlling family. Most everyone smokes weed and drinks.. Some people just have families for the wrong reasons. Your parents might be disappointed in you because they want to live your life for you.. or maybe they are envious. Some people just can't separate their own ego from their kids. Fortunately for you, you can create your own family down the line and not make the same mistakes they did with you.
