Why do I like my friends more than my family?

We always choose our friends, but we may not always choose our family. It's natural to build strong and lasting friendships, unique from our familial relationships. Friends usually have similar interests and hobbies to us. They understand some of the struggles we are going through, because they may be also going through those same struggles. For some people, friends turn into family, because that bond becomes so great and inseparable, they may as well be family. And although our family may think they have your best interests at heart, sometimes they can be the cause of stress. It's important to put value in your relationships and cherish the ones that are meaningful to you.

Of course, I don't know what your situation with your family or your friends is. But this can have several reasons. One of the possible reasons could be that you feel like you can be yourself more around your friends. Another can be because your family is not very good to you. There could be tons of more reasons that you would like your friends more than your family, so it depends on what you think yourself is the reason.

Sometimes it's easier to relate to people that are not family because we don't have to watch what we do or say or if our parents or other members of the family find out.

The family and friends relationship is very different. You can't pick your family but you can pick your friends.

The reason you might like your friends more than your family is because your friends don't tell you what to do all the time and you feel better with them because your not being ordered around. Your family on the other hand tells you what to do, says that you can or can't do things and you feel more limited with them more than your friends.It doesn't exactly meant that you care about you family less it just means you think you friends are better people to be with, your friends don't know everything though. So, I won't rely on them for decisions that would lead you the wrong way.
