Is it normal to not act like yourself in front of your family. I think im starting to realize I'm depressed because none of my family acts like themselves with eachother. we all have our own friend groups who we act much different then eachother with. I always thought this was normal but am starting to think it isn't. Anyone wanna shed some light on this

I always act not like too much of myself around my family. Unless I'm slightly high, then I'm more relaxed and open up. But I act like that because I am depressed. So that probably doesn't help.
I think that I am very emotionally distant, and when I see the way other people interact or form bonds I'm reminded that I have shit skills in that area. So that means I have to fake a good majority of my interactions with anyone, and I'm very aware of it. I'd love to stop but I don't seem to be able to form bonds. Other than my family and my boyfriend, of course. i crave friends. I'm hoping it's just a phase I'm going through since I had some friends years ago.

Also google this, it's like a sociology theory I think. Idk. I didn't do well in that class. It's something about life being a stage and we act differently depending on the social situation and group that we're with.
