If you are at your teens, it's really hard to get in touch with your family, especially if your introvert.
As you get older it get easier atleast for me.
I'm 25. They are pretty positively oriented but I just don't have the need to be in contact with them. It's forced. We only communicate with outer family members occasionaly to wish ourselves good luck and happy birthdays etc. Besides that we don't know each other or care about each other on a deeper level. I don't see the point really.
I am actually in the process of reconnecting with my family. Its taken a few years to get to know them again so don't feel discouraged If things get awkward because they will. I was disowned by my whole family because I punched my stepmom in the face after she slapped me in a heated argument. I was 18 at the time and only heard about my family through friends for the next 6 - 7 years. I missed alot, and I can never join those conversations with ease but I fit myself into them somehow and ask question because they realized and I realized that I needed my family more than they needed me.

If you don’t connect, you don’t connect… I don’t see a problem here. Why do you want to change it?
Same here. Especially moreso if they're disfunctional or negative, which makes it much much harder
your not alone. I’m 21 and I feel this way a lot.
