I feel like i can't be the real me with my family

I feel like I can't be the real me around my family. I want to let loose and let go and just be me, but whenever I'm with my family I just feel a giant restriction. I feel like everything I do is constantly monitored and that I'm being judged for every little thing I do. I'm 21 now and I feel like I'm not enjoying my life at all.

    I feel for you. I come from a dysfunctional family, and my mom is a master of gaslighting.

    Ahh, I feel you dude. 7 years on and I'm slowly letting them see parts of my secret life... wait until you're ready. Find friends you can trust before that happens. It's worth holding out to see change. Pray. That's what I did, anyway.

    Yeah, I feel this way sometimes too. I'm fun and energetic around my friends but when I'm with my family I feel like I'm serious minded. It's as if I'm a whole different person. So I guess it's normal

    I'm sorry that you feel this way. I know it might be hard, but just be yourself. They are your family, and families support each other. They love you ☺️ ! If they end up judging you then they are not worth your time.
