[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I did this with my parents and still do, actually, when I know they'll tell me for whatever reason that what I'm doing is wrong and why it's wrong. It's easier to lie than to have to listen to them doubting my choices and preferences. [/quote] This was me, too. My mother would have wanted to have a long conversation about how it wasn't normal for me to be sitting around alone, and how I should have activities, and on and on and on. And while my mom would never have reacted with sympathy to a lonely teenager, even if she had, the last thing I wanted to do was bring her in to my private life which she would then want to discuss ad nauseum. So, maybe she doesn't trust you. Maybe she's just more private about her life than you'd prefer. Maybe she's really troubled. I don't know. Ask her, and try not to make her feel bad about her answer.[/quote]
