How can I be more honest to my family about the stresses and pressures I'm dealing with?

by telling them the truth. most people are afraid that they wouldn't understand but actually they are the people who understands you the most and also the people who would always be there for you. so open up to them and ask for help.

In my opinion, anyone should share their feelings with their families. It's important to talk and trust. Just take your time and tell them all about your problems and stress, all about the pressure. Don't be afraid of telling them. They probably would understand you. They will help you. :)

You shouldn't be forced to say something that you don't want to. But being honest is always the better way. It's good to find a situation in which they will really listen to you. Tell them what's bothering you and ask for help, the family often takes things serious after really asking for help.

Accept the things that you are struggling with first and foremost. Then find a medium that you can best explain your situation. Then speak your truth! Don't take it personally if they don't totally understand, sometimes people just don't fully understand what they are going through.

Start discussing matters with your favourite and most trusted member of the family and slowly others.

Starting with smaller things and expressing more about what you like or dislike. You can never be so sure about opening all to family. Small steps will help you judge how much you can share. Main reason is that they are always infront of you and if they dont make your feel secure, you will have to deal with another stress. Being honest can simply start with expressing your emotions, in minimal way, not hiding just because you think they will figure out from your expressions or behave. Try finding your comfort zone, its required at time to open up, just enough so you can vent out.
