What would you do if were stressed that your family would be disappointed in a decision you made?

When I'm stressed about my family being disappointed in a decision I made I usually go to them ask them not to be mad at me and tell them what I did, that way I get the stress out of my system and get it over with.

Be open and honest - of course it depends on the situation, but family should always support you even if you've not done what they see as being the "right" thing to do. At the end of the day, it's your life and you're allowed to make your own choices and mistakes.

Hey sweetie, I felt like this through all my teen years, so I know how you feel. I know you want other people to be happy with your decisions, but you need to make decisions that YOU are happy with. I know you're stressing out over this, and I did too. But, you can please everyone, and if you try, you'll make yourself mesrible. Let go of that stress, and just try to do what's right; not what your family thinks.

I've been in that situation. And I was so stressed the muscles on my lower back and butt, froze up. I did what I thought was right, even though it made me incredibly stressed out. That's just me though, you might do something different. It depends on the consequences, think about them.

Talk to them. Communication is a powerful tool. Talk to your family and tell them how you feel. - that way both sides can tell how they see the situation and often this helps family accept your decision

I would consider whether the decision has that much of an impact on my life and also discuss that decision with my most trusted friend or friends before potentially mentioning it to my family.

I would try to have a serious, but calm, conversation with my family and tell them my thoughts behind the decision to help them understand why i chose what I did.

If I was in your place I would tell them how I feel and ask them to forgive me for disappointing them. If you're stressed about talking to them I would wait to talk to them when they're not in a bad mood or distracted by something else. Let them know you want them to be kind about listening to you since you're being brave and open enough to tell them what's going on. Everyone disappoints their parents at some point. They can't expect you to be perfect but they can continue to love you unconditionally and be there for you to support you in what ever it is you're going through.
