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.
Neither as much as I’d like. My mum died 5 years ago, and my dad is in his late 70s and likely suffering from dementia. So between that and my own issues, there’s not really much opportunity to develop our understanding of each other.
