I feel happier when I’m not talking to my family?

[Anonymous]

I’ll make it brief but please help:

•I’m a twin and we’re 4 sisters

•Parents are narcissistic and raised us to be people pleasers and have self esteem issues BUT somehow I’ve always been so confident and different in that way from my siblings. It makes me stand out in the family unit

•I constantly cut my sisters out and limit contact with my parents, but they can’t see me be distant and independent

•Sisters always reach out and try to be close to me constantly and they’re good people, BUT I’m happier when I’m not talking to them. I feel so horrible about feeling this way, but when we do talk I am my WORST self and don’t feel good about myself. What should I do?

You have to do what's best for you. If they bring you down and they are not willing to change it's really not your fault or your problem.
