Family and Trust Issues

[ImagineRepublicCity]

So I'm just wondering, do many of you have trust issues with your family? It does tend to happen a lot, considering you can't choose your family and when you're young, you're kinda stuck with them whereas with friends you can just break them away.

Trust is so easily broken. I can tell my sister something and then two days later she'll tell my mum and my mum will go crazy nuts at me. I can keep her things to myself, but she can't keep mine? See, even if I did tell mum these things, she will probably bash me up like she always does. -sigh-

Trust has to be earned. Unfortunately your sister is not trustworthy. I don't have sibs, but I have a close cousin who is trustworthy. He only told on me once when he found out I was cutting, but that's only because he was really scared about me. My parents are mostly supportive, but I don't tell them everything. My cousin knows stuff they don't.

A lot of my friend's have trust issue's with their family so don't worry, it's normal. Trust is something that must be earned, no matter who the person is. If you don't want your parents to know something or anyone in particular, I'd keep it to yourself unless you know the person your going to tell is trustworthy.

My entire family has trust issues, I never speak about my problems because some how they get spread around the family quicker then butter on bread. Honestly, I don't tell friends either because I don't trust them not to tell mum. Anyone in my family just spreads my problems around so I just keep quiet.

Yep, I do have a lot of trust issues with my parents. They hate me, I hate them, it's kinda mutual, so it's cool, most of the times, but it's an easy thing to deal with. I wish it wasn't like this, but I can't do nothing now. I only tell them what they need to know, school stuff, for instance, but they know nothing about my personal life. With my brother it's a bit different, though, I trust him much more, and I think he trusts me as well, but we usually don't share each other secrets.

I have a twin brother and have no trust issues with him. We trust each other so much that i can tell him anything and visa versa and will be safe.
We are close we share everything.

I trust my family, but I don't tell them everything either. I know that I can always count on them when I need them, but I also know they can be rather judgmental sometimes so I don't feel comfortable talking about certain things with them. One thing I've realized is that things tend to get around within your family. You tell one person something and it's hard for them not to tell another family member. So if I'd be concerned about someone else in the family finding out I probably wouldn't tell any of my family members. I think everyone has certain things that aren't too good of an idea to discuss with their family. For me it doesn't mean I trust them any less, it just means there's certain subjects I need to avoid.

Yeah I feel uncomfortable telling my family stuff and they don't seem to trust me.
