WHICH OF THE TWO PARTY YOU ARE MORE OPEN WITH YOUR DEEPEST FEELINGS???I love my family.And i am close to them.But usually,i cant tell them my deepest feelings and emotions.Instead,i always have friends which i can share my deepest thoughts.It seems that my family wont listen and even understand me... How about you???

I think that your family has a higher expectation for you than your friends. It means more to my family to do well and be successful in life. In most cases I will be less likely to open up to them for fear of ruining family honor.... I know that both will come to my rescue if I mess up and will give me good advise if I have a problem. But in my experience, friends tend to be less judgemental. Your family will sometimes hold your mistakes over your head.

Hi! I think everybody has his own sort of priorities, his own family setup, his own way of thinking, his own level of trust and intimacy etc. I do have my own too. I think it depends upon the nature of matters and relationsahips amongst each party. Frankly, I do prefer to share with my family instead of sharing with friends. Thats it! Have a good day.

Both friends and family play important roles in our life so you can't choose any one .
