How are you supposed to feel if you're parents just want to love you but not know anything about you?

Answer 1

hmm..they probably don't NOT want to know anything about u, BUT they do want u to be a "certain" way..and therefore if u are any different than that, most likely they will be Disapointed. =T which is of course not fair, but true in most cases (for example, my mom STILL says she's embarrased that i went to a certain college, etc etc). so it makes me feel like she doens't understand me, and is not proud of me.

but i am older now, and i realize that she does love and depend on me a lot, she just Wanted other things for me...and one day she will have to get over it, but that's ok. take some time out and try to work on ur relationship: if they dont' want to hear about ur interests, try learning more about THEIR INTERESTS. that way u are still keeping a good relaitonship w/ them, but not making them "upset" w/ how different u are, etc. then u will learn what kind of relationship is "best" between u guys. same goes for friends..have u noticed that some friends u talk about school only, other u talk about fun only, and even other u can talk about Anything with? so u have to learn to cultivate and grow that relationship w/ people, and keep in mind and Observe who responds to what. it can be disappointing at times because u my Want to share everything w/ them, but it's just not the case...

u'll be fine... they do love u, that is wonderful that u acknowledge that. start from there, and hoepfully someday u will learn to incorporarte ur interests in a way that will make sense to them~

take care

Answer 2

If they love you honey, I can guarantee they want to know everything about you. Have you asked yourself if you've given them the opportunity to share something with you? Or are you the private type who tends to keep to yourself? The reason I ask is because I have a son who is 15. And we went through this same stage with him. There was literally one argument where I told him that I loved him, but I really didn't like him right now. It was a turning point for us. It hurt him, I hated myself for saying it and in trying to mend the bridge I just blew up, he was shocked to hear how much I actually did know about him when he thought he was being so private. I knew what friends he was hanging around with, by listening to him talk with them, I knew he liked skateboarding and girls (oh, I dreaded that), he was even surprised to know I knew about his my space page without snooping. Even though he didn't like to talk much, I paid attention. It's what parents do honey. We watch, listen and learn. It's our job. If you feel that you and your parents aren't connecting, you may have to take that first step. They are people too and if they truly aren't paying attention...make them hon. Tell them how you feel, talk to them, open up a little and share something. They might not even realize they are doing it.

Answer 3

i'd appreciate it in a way, it's nice to have your own space when you're growing up. my parents are/were the same but i know that if i do WANT to talk about something they'd be willing to listen too.
