I live with my parents and 3 brothers (im the only girl). I've never been really close with any of my family members. I love my parents dearly and I know they would do anything for me, but the problem is we do not communicate. I feel like no one in my family knows me at all. I feel like im living in a house with strangers. It's never more than casual talk, and I can't talk about anything more without feeling a litle awkward. It might be a language barrier because I'm not very fluent with my parent's native language, and I never speak to them in english either. Regardless I still feel very disconnected with my family. I can't even talk with my mom and any other daughter should. I have a lot of resentment towards everyone because no one knows how to communicate with each other, and it bothers me every day. I just stay in my room all day when I'm at home cause I don't want to deal with anyone... I want very badly to change things but it's been like this for so long now... any advice? Thanks for reading.

Ask your question today!
Also, have you ever considered learning their native language? You're situation is perfect for learning a new language, and I don't understand why you're not taking the opportunity, it's a great skill to have.:)
I agree with bananaface too about learning your parents native language. I'm trying to myself. If you are interested in anything that your brothers or parents like you should try doing those things do you have something to talk about. My brother is into video games and I know if I ever mention one he plays we could have a pretty good conversation.
However, you're different OP, you want things to get better... I would suggest that you try to talk with them.
