Does anyone else feel completely repulsed by the thought of sharing personal information with their parents?
I've learned recently that almost all of my friends talk to their parents and share personal information on a regular basis, even multiple times a week, even though a lot of them experienced abuse by at least one parent. It was shocking to me since my parents never abused me, but the extent of my contact is sending happy birthday texts and visiting a couple times a year. I wouldn't consider it "low contact" because it's just the standard default amount of contact from my perspective.
When my friends talk about how they freely share information with their parents, it's just so hard for me to wrap my mind around. To me, the idea of having a conversation with my parents that I wouldn't have with a coworker is unthinkable, and I don't talk to my coworkers about anything other than necessary communication for work tasks.
The thought of telling parents any personal information beyond things like "work is the same as usual" gives me the same reaction as the thought of getting naked and having sex right in front of them; it feels like violating my privacy in an extreme way and humiliating myself. Does anyone else feel this way?
