Do you feel anxious with your Family?

Wow , that sounds familliar, though i counteract the annoying chewing/swallowing sounds with putting music on or up the tv volume. heh

I do it too. But you cannot escape them all time. Once I hear them again I mostly again get angry. So I limit the possibility as possible but I cant limit it all time. And since my parents don't care its a never ending story.

Yeah, since my whole family just don't know how to stop talking, I'm feeling not talkative enough for them.::

I feel slightly anxious around my mom... I judge myself when I speak to her because there are times she flat out tells me she doesn't want to talk to me, or makes a big -go, run off somewhere- hand signal when i'm in mid speech. This happens daily but she's generally a stressed out person =/. I should understand it's coming from stress but I can't help but feel this adds to my social anxiety...

don't really know my dad, he lives in another country so yeah I get anxious around him.

With my sisters i'm moderately anxious, always judging myself again, wondering if I'm boring them or if i'm in the way of something... I'm not as anxious compared to being around strangers or 'friends' but i'm still on edge, costantly thinking and guessing and hating that I do it.

I think anxiousness will be completely elliminated when you meet somebody who has never judged you in any way, and doesn't look secretive or shy themselves. Somebody who is always supportive, maybe an impossible personality to find?

Wierd I have that strong dislike of eating sounds too.. It's almost impossible for me to eat with my mom because my mom is the loudest, messiest eater ever. I either turn up the television or I just leave, sometimes I actually just tell her.

I coincidentially have a lot of anxiety when i'm eating to not make eating or swallowing sounds when drinking water or having lunch at school. It's either that i'm paranoid to be seen as I see my mom when she eats, or that I hate eating sounds because I see it as her rubbing it in my face that she can make them lol.

I'm fine around my close family and can be myself around them. It's more the distant relatives who I can feel a bit anxious with (the family members you only seem to see at christmas, birthdays etc), but I try my best.
