Is it okay to want space from your family?

@MysteriouslyFound1893 yes. yes. yes. it's completely okay to feel like you need space from your parents sometimes. dont feel like this! And it's completely normal to want some love and acknowledgment. Everyone deserves to feel valued and cared for :)

If being home doesn't feel right sometimes, that's okay too. it's okay to seek out environments where they feel more at ease or supported!!!

Is it okay if on most days I need space from my parents?

Yes. Absolutely. Why not? If your parents are saying and/or doing things they shouldn’t then it will only be best for you to get as much distance or space as you called it from them as possible. 

Is it okay if on most days I just need the affection and acknowledgement?

Yes I believe it’s ok that you need affection and acknowledgement. But if I were you I’d give those things to myself daily instead of waiting for and wanting it from your parents which may not come for a long time or maybe not even ever. 

It is okay if on most days I want to just be away from this place, anywhere but here?

Hi, sorry for the late response but for anyone still wondering, I personally think it's okay to want some personal space, because it gives you space to be yourself. It's also okay to want some affection and acknowledgement from family. Whom else would you want it from?

I can see you're saying you don't want to be in your home, and that's fine, you can decide for yourself what is best for you. Generally it indicates home is being stressful for you, so it's understandable!.

Hi @MysteriouslyFound1893 I can understand how you feel, and you're allowed to feel this.

@MysteriouslyFound1893

Yes , i guess it is not medical condition, or wrong thing to want focusing on your projects , make some  progress, but you can take brief breaks from time to other checking your family, spend quality time with them you will appreciate those memories in the future 

It’s definitely okay to need space from your parents, just as it is okay to need space from anyone in our lives. Everyone has boundaries and they can apply to parents too 

Why do you feel this way? It is completely fine and normal to wanting to have space from people even if they're our own parents. We all sometimes have moments when we feel even just a little break would be enough at that point. You do deserve to have space. I hope you're fine. co@MysteriouslyFound1893
