I mean like, actually understand beyond just exchanging a few words a day. Like knowing hobbies, favorite foods, political opinions, favorite tv/movie/youtube channels/music/genre of entertainment, etc… overall likes and dislikes… you know what I mean…
As to why I’m asking: I feel like my family is just a bunch of strangers sometimes…
I feel like nobody really understands me.


Depending upon your age, that’s not too surprising. When I was about 25 I kind of felt the same way. I’m now 50+ My mom is little over 20 years older than I am. I’d say she understands me pretty well and I understand her.
The older you get the more wisdom you get and you start to understand the other side just a little more
