I have zero problems with my family, and yet hate when they reach out to me about anything and just wanna be left alone. Why?
Like the title says. I come from a very loving family that has always gone out of their way to support me in just about everything I do. Compared to a lot of people's home lives, I had it good as a kid, beyond my parents divorcing (which honestly seems normal nowadays.)
And yet, whenever any of them - especially my dad - message or call me about anything that I don't consider important or serious, like even just asking how I'm doing since we haven’t spoken in a while, I privately flip out and yell to myself wishing they would just shut up. I keep it to myself, and respond normally as anyone would, but man it GRINDS MY GEARS having to make the effort to have a conversation with them over the phone, text or call.
Important to note that this seems to only occur when communicating over the phone. I have zero problems talking about anything with them in person. I just wanna know why I feel the way I do.
