I tend to be worse when I have to socialise with family. I know that sounds bad, but most of the time I can't stand to socialise with family. Even socialising with close family like siblings is a struggle for me. I don't mind being social with random people, but I struggle with family. Sometimes I just hide away when family visit my dad's home.
It's hard to not be social with my family though, as my siblings are a lot older than me, therefore they don't understand about anxiety/mental health etc. Sometimes I just don't know what to say to them as they have their own families, whereas I am 24 and still living my life. It's different when your siblings are your own age, but when they are 40+ which is how old my siblings are, it's tough. I was born late, therefore it kind of sucks that most of my family are a lot older.
Does anyone else feel like this?
