Would you consider yourself a family person or the opposite?

Question

Loveisgirthy · Accepted Answer

My family is overly sacrificial and fixate over so many small ass stuff, on top of politics and their own religious understandings. My mom was taught to be sacrificial, in many of the same ways and I try to teach them how not killing your own development of life and self for others is much more helpful in the long run. However they're stuck in their way and I may never help them. Which is why I'll most likely just move on and be the first to do so. So not exactly a family guy with my family. I question whether they really know me or could ever have the time to know me. I'd be a family guy with my own family for certain. But as of now I don't feel like a family person really.

Nowadays family is important and very crucial to guide you down the path of morality when it comes to outside influences such as dealing with drugs, alcohol, peer pressure, bullying, or someone saying negative things to you. Your family might not be able to shield you from everything, but they will be able to assist you through the hard times and give you the tools you need to diffuse or avoid the situation. I'm a family person.

YollyM · Accepted Answer

I'm not a family person.
Don't get me wrong I love my parents and my siblings but I've never imagined my self as a mother or a wife for that matter. I like the fact that I can go to another country if the opportunity presented itself without having to discuss it. I like the fact that every activity that I partake in is truly my choice not because of trying to please someone else.
I know myself well enough to know that I would grow to resent my partner and/or kids if I were to tie myself down to them.
But that doesn't mean that I do not respect family people.

Opposite.

I'm not very big on family. My family life growing up was terrible, and my mother by design isolated my father and I from our extended families.

The result is that I don't see family as a good, positive, or reliable thing.

Friends and found family are my thing.

I'm deeply family orientated. Having a loving, functional family is one of my major goals. Kind regards, DoctorSex

Aerissa_Jade · Answer

Definitely a family person, would love to have lots of kids and a family of my own. It just isn't ever going to happen though.

BCRanger10 · Answer

I'm a family man 😊 The highlight of my day is getting to the front door and hearing my son on the other side repeat "it's Daddy!"

hIopinionated_ · Answer

I truly wish I was a family person but I can’t help the way I am. I like to be alone and not engaging with people who expect. . love, attention, and friendly conversations and hugs. Yes I love them but can I love you from afar? Maybe talk every once in a while? but I’m just not good with people. I’m introverted and I enjoy major alone time

Sorry family members

TransAm85 · Answer

I grew up in a broken home. I knew since I was a teenager that I would never have kids of my own. I liked babysitting for my neighbor while she went out to the bar every Saturday! lol $20 was big money for a teen in the late '90's!

Youryeodongsaeng · Answer

Right now, with my family, I don't want to consider them as my family. They are not good people. In the future, maybe, when I start a family of my own.

Càitjet · Answer

Family person. Growing up my family was broken so having a happy loved home is really important.

Tiptoetamm · Answer

Yes I am. Family is everything to me. Every holiday we spend together as a family. I really enjoy it, and pass it on if and when I have kids

LilyoftheLake · Answer

I like to think of myself as a family person, but I never had any siblings, so it's hard to say.

Little_Bumblebee · Answer

Eh, I wouldn't say I'm absolutely not, I love my family. But I'm not a FAMILY person either.

jennifer_bloom · Answer

I’m a fellowship groupie, if I’m with somebody who shares my values we could be together for decades without a fight but if there is different values, we might argue 300 times a day.

melanieeeB · Answer

Rose_84 · Answer

I just want a spouse and two random good family members. But not kids...

mobiusforniner · Answer

Considering i got a wife and kids, uh, yeah?

MCheetah · Answer

I never had a loving family, loving mother or anything. But I always wanted one ina wife and children. But I'll never have family, so... I'm none of the above.

Telekinetic-Potato · Answer

It's hard to say. Other than my brother, I have pretty bad relationships with my family. I would do just about anything for any of them though. I think your family is most important.

Sour-rose · Answer

Nah, not me. I'm sitting in my house rn and enjoying no one's ringing my doorbell or calling me, like everyone just fk off. Family included, let me be alone

Sandeeppingping · Answer

I'm not big on family, like my mom and aunt are the only people I contact (well they contact me and I don't want them to think I'm dead), the others I'm either neutral or I don't speak to,

KatherineJ · Answer

Yep. I’m a wife and a mom, so I’m definitely a family person.

kitty71 · Answer
