Is it normal to be the worst version of myself with my family?

i love who i am around my friends, and cant even recognize myself around my family. i hate who i turn into around them.

    yes, i am the same way. it is weird. i guess because friends will leave you, but family is not supposed to.

    Yep good old family , count on em every time !

    My family think they know me the best yet they have no clue who I am - not even ball park . Spose I'm a bit to blame in some ways that I just don't show myself around them , but I can't I'd freak them out.

    But on the other hand , they are mostly pretty stupid to in their people reading . They see me doing this or that and can't put together that it is just me being polite , keeping the peace , it ain't me.

    Yeah think it is. Think people tend to not tolerate what their family members do as much and tend to be more blunt with family too. Especially if your family is rotton to you. I guess its bcuz people tend to feel safer in their own homes and you get sick of seeing the same people you have to live with everyday, know how that feels lol. But theres a line though if youre being abusive or just a brat then thats a problem.

    You are severely twisted!! Those friends will come and go but the only people who will always love you are your family. It's hard to explain to a child but your parents have sacrificed; time, money, nights' sleeps, social life .... etc and this is how you thank them.

    They must be sorely disappointed coz the only 'you' that they see is the nasty one you present to them. I'm sure you would all be happier if you moved out but until then please learn to control your temper and your tongue. You're breaking your parents' hearts :o((

        Of course. You would have to tell us more.

        My mother is a rotten bitch and brings out the worst in me. I'm very tolerant with her but find that I'm in a bad mood after listening to her moaning for hours at a time.
