What should I do if I feel frustrated and unable to communicate with my parents

Jan 31,2025

1. Finding a third-party communication bridge: Find a trusted friend, relative, or professional psychological counselor to confide in about your feelings and troubles. They can provide neutral opinions to help you understand your parents' position and may offer suggestions for improving communication. At the same time, you can also ask them to serve as a medium to convey your thoughts and feelings to your parents.

2. Change communication style: Try using more peaceful and non blaming language to communicate with parents. When expressing opinions, you can first acknowledge the other party's efforts and contributions, and then use "I" as the subject to express your feelings and needs, such as "I feel very suppressed because I feel that communication between us is somewhat difficult". At the same time, choose the appropriate time and place to ensure that both parties have enough patience and attention for the conversation.

3. Self emotional management: Recognizing that the inability to fully communicate with parents is a common problem, there is no need to excessively blame or suppress oneself. Shift attention and relieve emotional stress through exercise, meditation, reading, or communicating with others. Learn to accept your own feelings and try to approach problems with a positive attitude. I believe that with the passage of time and the efforts of both parties, the communication situation will improve.
