I can't talk to my family about my problems. What should I do?

Ask yourself why you can't talk to your family. If it's because they won't be there, seek help from online sources, school, or from a counselor in your area. If it's because you don't want to worry them, it may hurt them knowing that they aren't there for you. They love and want to help you with all of your problems. It's why parents ask how you are or how your day is going. They care, why won't they care now?

Not being able to talk to your family about any kind of a problem is a natural reaction. We rather talk to someone like a friend or maybe a leader. Though those are some good options, your family deserves a chance to help you out as well. My recommendation would be to write down and plan out what you are going to say to them. Maybe in a notebook or even just type it out in your notes on your phone or something! When you feel ready go tell them exactly that! Even read it off the page if you have too! They will be happy to help even if it may not seem like it?

Communication is always key in any type of relationship. Whether it be romance, sibling, friend, etc. It all involves good listening and talking skills.

Usually finding a therapist, or a friend, or somewhere like 7 cups where you can anonymously vent your problems to.

You could try talking to a close friend or just somebody that you trust. You could also try getting professional help, like a therapist. And of course there is always 7 cups of tea you could use to talk about your problems.

Coming to 7 cups, and talking to a listener is already a good step. Another one is to maybe try talking to friends.

try talking to someone. it may seem hard to talk to your family, but what about close friends that you trust or even anyone that you can talk to. its always good to have that one person that you can talk to. hopefully one day you will be able to talk to your family but for now just try and talk to someone you can trust :)

I myself have had and still do have issues with confiding in my family. Nobody ever listened to me or let me get a word in and they were/are my problems not theirs. I met someone almost 5 years ago and he has been my source to get over a lot of these issues and he was someone that I could trust and vent to whenever I needed someone to talk to or someone to just listen. He's my boyfriend and even though we have been complicated for awhile things are better and he is busy a lot now, but I couldn't ask for anyone better and more than him. If he wasn't around and not available to talk or maybe we were off at the time I would connect to someone here on 7 cups of tea. If that never worked I always prayed and handed all of these issues to God.

What i did is find my most trusted friend, talked to him about my troubles and he tries to comfort me or try to search for a solution, real friends will always do this.

If you feel umcomfortable with talking yo your family, then maybe you could try to visit a therapist. Therapists are very serious, objective and they help you coping with what you're going throw, guiding you, making you reflect and all that.
