Re: How much is shared amongst your family

Can't seem to hide problems from siblings no matter how much I may try (range late teens- mid 20's).

Parents.......depends but I would say they get filtered information

I can't keep anything in my stomach to my siblings and parents get to hear it all. :D Although there are some things siblings know/parents don't and vice versa - nothing important though.

My mom gets filtered info in cases when I feel she will get unnecessarily upset about something. I share 100% with my siblings in all cases because they should know the reality :D

Re: How much is shared amongst your family

Ive always kept my own problems to myself. Never been one to open up quickly and have always been very private when displaying emotions. But friends and family - especially the girls, have been trying to get me to open up lately....and it has somewhat worked. Having said that ive always been there to listen to them. Funny because just yesterday one of my friends commented about what she had to do to get me to open up haha

Re: How much is shared amongst your family

When you hide your emotion to others......... you always get hurt......... and can't complain......... i just realize this few days back or may be few hours ago :p... because i was like that.... in fact i am still like that but now i will try to open up with my family as well so that they would know that i have problems too
but i have learnt my lesson that you have to show your emotions at least sometimes......... its good for you as well and people come to know that you will have emotions too.............

I suppose I should add I don't have any problems to share or not share yet, Alhamdulillah.

Re: How much is shared amongst your family

a few hours ago eh??:). what you said is very true. But i think it stems from the fact that my dad is quite a masculine guy and he instilled that in me. When i was growing up, i was taught to never be sensitive cuz its a feminine thing. So it just stuck. I was always told "be a man" haha. Call it tough love. But now i know that you cant bottle things up. And sharing ur grief with someone is not always a sign of weakness....

p.s I Like ur signature ;)

Keep a lot to myself but sisters know most of it, especially sis who is a year younger than me. Parents get half of the info

Re: How much is shared amongst your family

With my siblings, I share pretty much everything .. Age range is mid-teens till mid-20s

My parents, especially my mum, and my eldest bro (early 30s) gets only filtered info, but I would say nothing major has ever happened in my life, so no one is missing anything
