I've always been surrounded by the type of family environment that has been emotionally disconnected. None of my family members including myself were taught or knew how to express our feelings; at least in a healthy way. These days, I'm an adult and currently reside with some of the same family members that may have indeed instigated the unhealthy behaviours if not made things worse.
Make a long story short, I don't trust my own family members with anything; my emotions/feelings, my belongings, my life. It's gotten so bad that I've had to put a lock on my bedroom door just to have some privacy and to keep these family members from snooping. My question is, with my trust broken by my own family members how can I rebuild trust and build healthy relaltionships in my own life?
