[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a number of people I am related to by birth and grew up with and know them in adulthood.  I am somewhat close to some, others I do not care for.  I enjoy the company of people I am not related to by miles above those I am related to.  I also am inspired/ look up to these people, and I do not feel the same about most of my family.

I could take or leave the idea of family (meaning relatives).  Why do some people put such importance of family? [/quote]

This is easy. All those feelings you feel towards others, people actually feel towards their families. Get it now?[/quote]

So you don’t have any addicts or narcissists or just general a*^&holes in your family?  Genuine follow-up question.  [/quote]

Sure one or two but not all. Surely you know not every family is dysfunctional, right? Is this news to you?[/quote]

So what happens if someone in your chosen family becomes an addict? You drop them?  Many (not all) blood families would try to help them where many friends, unless very close, would move on. And honestly, until something bad happens, you dont know which friends are fair weather or there for anything. It’s the same with family, but there are more connections where maybe there is a better understanding of how people will respond. [/quote]
