Some reasons why you can't talk to your parents about your feelings is because you may be afraid, or don't want to upset your parents which is normal and many kids and even teens and adults have trouble talking to their parents about their feelings.
Sometimes we are not able to understand where our troubling feelings or our thoughts are coming from and can feel guilty for having them.
Also feeling anxious about being judged or being perceived negatively or even being misunderstood often prevents us from being able to open up to our parents and also any adults around us.
You might not want your parents to think less of you or be disappointed in you.
And in such a situation the silence can seem easier than thinking.
I've always had trouble talking to my parents about my feelings or whatever was troubling me.
Whether you're an adult or you're a kid or teen, having emotional communication with your parents can be pretty hard and challenging.
Whenever I tried talking to my parents about my feelings or other similar things, it would always end in an irrationally heated argument although it may not be that way for others.
It's also very common to feel awkward saying "I love you" to our parents, even if you do love your parents.
Having trouble saying I love you to your parents can stem from various factors, including how love was expressed (or not expressed) in your family growing up, unresolved issues, or personal comfort levels with emotional displays. Some people find it easier to show love through actions rather than words, and that's perfectly valid.
