Is it normal i don't share things with my family?

90% Normal

There are things about myself that I do not share with anyone in my family, and I haven't yet shared with any friends. My Mom doesn't know, nor my siblings. Is this weird? I feel extremely uncomfortable with them knowing about me, I don't really share anything with her at all.

I don't usually dislike my mom, or my dad, I just absolutely hate them knowing certain things about me. When I think about it, the things are not embarrassing, and they definitely aren't bad, I just hate thinking about them knowing about me.

Please comment if possible :)

    Sure that's normal. You don't have to tell everything to your family or friends

      I'm lactose intolerant, I also don't tell them how I feel.

        Well, lactose intolerance is a medical issue so you had probably better at least let your Mom know. I know it's not easy to talk to your folks, but sometimes it's necessary.

        Has anything weird happened that would make it harder for you to talk to your parents? Are your parents abusive or neglectful in any way?

          They haven't abused me at all, but they don't care what I think and that makes me mad. I have a mild anger problem and I think my mom and my little sister have casued it.

          But no, they aren't abusive or neglectful.

            How did your mother and sister cause your anger problem?

              It sounds petty but my sister looks for every opportunity to make me annoyed and my mom does nothing about it, she does not care what my sister does to me because she is "younger" and I am "older", which I think is horrible reasoning.

              She doesn't care how I feel.

    My doctor told me it's better to talk to your online friends than family
