Sometimes it is hard for our families to see us and how we feel opposed to how they are feeling in the brief situation. They only know what they feel, and if they don't know how you feel it will make it harder for them to understand and accept where you are coming from.

Because everybody thinks different. Everybody has their way to think so you need to accept they maybe can turn you down

Here's the thing; it is all circumstantial on "How you are". If you have responsibilities you don't want to to take care of because you "don't feel like it", then you aren't accepting them, are you? You have to be fair in all of your judgements and how you approach someone. Consider all sides of the scale, not just your own, and that will help you along your way.

Sometimes its hard for people to accept change and things that are different or different to them. You can't force anyone to feel s certain wat but if you accept you than that's all that matters! Althought it can be hard you have to find out what makes you happy !

With generational changes and all, your parents only knows how to accept you the way they know how to. Maybe explaining more of yourself to them might help.

My family I hope you mean parents. I believe there always going to be differences in the way two generations think. Most of the time parents want the best for you even though it doesn't feel like it sometimes. Or exceptions when the parents are toxic or narcissistic . I think it has to be a mutual understanding and any differences needed to be discussed
Communication is the key. But if you are unable to solve issues by communication and feel like your parents are having a negative impact on your mental health you can let them know or prefer to spend more time outside doing things you like , like a music or dance class or a library to study books. Sometimes parents take time to accept you .. and you have to give them that time to come around.

Maby becuse they have had a hard time with themselves and not accepting themselves so they pass it on to you.
To the person who isn't accepted by family members, focus on what you want to do in life and strive forward. Create goals for yourself and do something big in the world because everything will be fine in the end. You don't need to be accepted by others. You just need to accept yourself
Start by telling your parents that you love or appreciate them. Additionally, hug or kiss your parents if that feels right to you. These actions show your parents you love them, which may help them be more affectionate with you. Say something like, "I love you" or “I appreciate you
