Is it normal to not be close with your family?

9 Comments

When I was younger I was with my family ALL the time. Now that I'm a teenager & getting old I never talk to them that much anymore? Do all teenagers do this? I find it awkward to go to my grandparents house and have a real conversation. I barely have a long conversation with my parents and brothers without getting annoyed to easily and leaving. I feel like I am always on my phone or computer hiding from everyone. Do all teens do this? Or am I just being mean?

    yes its normal, but dont forget that your family loves u and dont do anything to permanently damage your relationship. U will eventually snap out of it and chances are, u will want to be around them again at some point...

    You're a teenager it's normal. And even if you were an adult, I wouldn't say it's totally abnormal, some people just don't click with their families.

    Yep, completely normal. You don't choose your parents, so there's no guarantee that you get along with them. Of course, try to stay on friendly terms with them, but it's normal not to live like a stereotypical TV family.

    I think a lot of teens feel this way. To be honest, I sort of don't like talking to my mom a lot, we have our moments though. My Dad is less harsh, but way less approachable with problems. I appreciate what they do for me, but (as cliche as it sounds) they don't really understand me. However, I love talking to my step-grandma. I like getting into deep conversations with people, but I don't think my parents really care. I think that you are being mean, but your behavior is typical in my opinion.
