Is it me or do you find relationships (family and friends) difficult?

I would say the only family member I'm close to is my Twin, but even we fight like cat and dog.

My Dad and I are constantly fighting. I was living with him I've tonight moved back home. I'm so angry, frustrated and upset. I just need someone to talk to.

I'm worried as tomorrow (Wednesday) could be a tighter tougher lockdown for Scotland. Our First Minister is doing a briefing then. I live 30 mins away from anyone and I can't drive. If its tougher lockdown I will be completely alone in isolation. I don't think I can mentally do it. I was bad mentally when I lived with my parents March- August last year

Really struggling to not get angry and upset... sorry guys!!

I find most relationships difficult. There are certain relationships that are a bit easier because people like close family and a friend or two just don't have high expectations and have accepted it. There's a lot that's just really hard for me that I guess is easy for "normal" people.
I wish I had answers as to what you should do, but I don't. Sorry. Have a hug

Yes! I isolate and normalize a lot because I really don't know the first thing about relationships, except that I do like to listen to people and encourage them. Besides that, I'm clueless.

My biggest trigger is stress caused by interpersonal relationships. I totally get it.

I’m sorry to hear you’re not in a good headspace right now, it’s ok to be upset though so no need to apologise!
I don’t feel much motivation to be social these days, even with my parents who I live with (though I try my best to be “present” with mum, at least. We spend most evenings together watching tv and crafting - sometimes!) Our conversations don’t have much substance a lot of the time.
Thanks for this!

One of my biggest triggers is stress linked to interpersonal relationships (or in the case of ''family''... neglect (parental units)
