This was a question I received from a person on Quora and this is how I answered it:
The one thing that I have learned is to stop sharing my personal heartaches and negative experiences with the family. They don’t even really know the person that they are commenting on but think they know the person better than you. It’s crazy-making because it is ludicrous.
So, this is what you do instead: You stop talking to these know-it-alls about your private stuff, and you get competent help to help you sort it out. It is not up to you to defend anything, and by having your family make such unsupportive comments, they are telling you that they are hopeless to understand. So, move on and forget about them. It isn’t their business anyway, is it? This is your life and as such, it is up to you to figure it out with someone who had the ability to guide you through it, in a supportive and constructive manner because that someone truly understands the personality of which you are speaking. Your relatives do not. So stop asking them to understand that which is out of the range of knowledge.
