Is it normal if a family cant have fun with eachother like with friends, etc.

Ok so im guessing alot of people are like this but then again i know alot of who arent. But um, i feel like our family isnt comfortable with eachother if we do something out of the norm. For example, if we dance out of nowhere for the hell of it theyll be like haha OHKAY?thats not who you really are. But really it is they just havent seen that side yet. Even if i do try to show that side, i feel weird and awrkard like i cant like they think they know who i am so if i act like another certain way theyll be like why is she acting that way? Thats who i am so deal with it. Not just that, but i think thats how we all are. We feel like theres a certain way we act with eachother and if we act like we do when were around friends or whatever, itll be awkward and weird. I just wish we can all feel comfortable acting like ourselves around eachother and party and have a good time and not feel awkward or insecure. Dont get me wrong we still have fun but not like friend fun. I know families who do or people who are close with their cousins and siblings just the way they are with their friends. Who else has this same problem ? Who knows what to do about it? Anybody ?

Is It Normal?

  • K so like... Im kind of the same way. I act all weird but no body gets it. Ya know? Like I'll make a joke or show a funny youtube video to someone or say something like "fo shizzle" or "HOLY CHEESE" and they dont even aknowledge it... like my friends do and we all act like that but around my family they just act like "whateverrr" and i feel like in a family u should embrace everything about eachother. and be able to brag about their personality traits and how much you love them but in my family no one does... its horrible. Its like there's no love there.

  • I'm like that sometimes, I'll dance randomly, you know, just joking like and my cousins used to look at me weirdly.

    Just be yourself and if they say it's not who you are, tell them it is.

    Eventually if they are truly family they'll accept you. I also just brushed off my cousins idiotic comments, I told them they needed to lighten up a lot.

  • Coleclay is right. I also think this boils down to the old saying.... You can't pick your family. You can however pick your friends.
