I think i’m pretty close to them, we have our ups and downs but sometimes i find myself so anxious around them. For example, i’m coming down to get food downstairs but i stop in my tracks because i hear my brother downstairs and i think i should come back later because i don’t want to bother/socialize with him even though i know he’ll just keep minding his own business and ignore me. It’s been an issue because that shyness is keeping me from having a trusting bond with them and from entering rooms with my family members inside. is this natural?

    Keep forcing yourself to intermingle with them

    -- Is on the money with this one. Keep pushing yourself otherwise this will only get worse.

    I can’t family members other than the ones I grew up in a house with. The sooner my grandma dies, the better

    Yeah. Im a shy person so im even shy with family, its only my mom im not shy with. You could practice socializing with them if you want to get more comfortable, if your brother for example doesnt want to talk at least you tried and for all you know he could be feeling the same way.
