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

Consider talking about your problems with an understanding emotionally close friend,mentor,teacher,or relative, if you have.,.or...you can express your problems by connecting to any online credible emotional support platform as seven cups.. The bottom line here is,,, seek the emotional support which you find appropriate, available around you .

Would it be possible for you to talk to a friend about your problems? Otherwise you could join 7cups, and talk to a listener - they are good listeners, and it may help you to open up to them. No matter what topic or issue is bothering you, here on 7cups is always someone who wants to listen and help. If your situation should seem too bad, you may try to talk to a therapist - also here on 7cups. There is always a solution, no matter how helpless you feel right now. And talking about a problem is always helpful.

You can try talking it out with a listener or talking it out with a close friend. Some times, you just need to let it all out and rant about what you are experiencing, and that's what these people are here for. Also, connecting with someone else might help you eventually chalk up the courage to talk to your parents, or find the safest way to tell them about your problems (obviously, this depends for each case, but it's a possibility). Listeners will always try to understand and help as much as possible, and they may help you at least process your feelings before you try anything more.

Do you have any friends you can maybe talk to? You will always have us listeners on 7 Cups to talk to, whenever you need us!

Get a close friend or family member that you trust and speak to them instead. If you have none then look for a counselor or therapist or even talk groups that you can go for that you can open up to.

Sometimes it is difficult to talk about personal issues with those closest to you; some people might feel like they will be judged or it will be held against them in the future. If you feel you cannot talk about your problems with your family, turn to friends you trust, and if you feel like this is not something you can do for whatever reason there are always forums online or websites like 7cupsoftea that offer listeners. This aside, if you ever feel like you are struggling to cope, or you feel yourself unable to 'get better', visit your GP who will be able to advise a counsellor or further steps for you to take.

Talk to a friend, or talk to someone on here, sometimes its easier to talk to people we don't know, you could also write it in a diary and then show someone so its not full confrontation

Find a friend or professional you can talk to. Sometimes it just takes time to figuring out how to to approach your family.

Go to a close friend or to an anonymous person like on here and spillbthe beans if you're afraid to be Judged.

There are lots of people you can talk to if you can't talk to your parents about a problem. You can talk to friends, colleagues, teachers, other family members but if you feel that you need to talk to someone in private 7 cups of tea has trained listeners that can be here for you to talk about your problems to. Some people find it easier talking to someone they don't personally know, such as listeners. They are there to help you talk through your problems, support you and not to judge you.

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.

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.

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.

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 :)

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

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.

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

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

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?

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?
