This is a problem in many families. Most families aren't trained therapists. And they care about you so much that they want to do everything they think they can to help you. Often while it's very well intentioned it's not help at all.
Have you tried seeing a therapist? That would give you someone who will know how to listen, and might have some good advice on how to handle these kinds of situations with your family.
If you think it would work, you can try being kindly honest with your family. Tell them you need to talk but don't want advice, just someone to listen and let you know that they understand how you feel. Also if you only want to talk with one family member and don't want that person to tell others about your conversation, you can ask for that too.
