College changes a person for the better but home stays the same and new you has a different perspective but you still love your family.

I love them but don’t want to deal with them every day. I can love them but not want to be around them the majority of the time lol

Me too and I feel like I’m always having to be nice or I’ll offend someone or hurt their feelings and then I’m the bad person. It’s actually exhausting

There is no winning at home. Winning was leaving home and gaining independence for me. Like you said, I love them from a far

Genuinely have never felt this related to in my life. When I talk to people about stuff like this, they don’t get it. They don’t understand what it’s like to age regress in your own mind and all the progress you’ve made feel like it’s just wiped away

exactly. i think it stems from me looking back at me from 14-18 and just being like wtf was my life back home?? as soon as i graduated i moved far away and have LOVED being alone but i do miss my family a lot after 4+ months. then i go see them and im like why tf did i come lol??

That’s how I feel too, I don’t understand how I ever dealt with being at home now that I’ve been away. I have quite literally been called the ghost of both half of my families because I don’t come around that often lol
