I just had this thought pop into my head when I was thinking about siblings that fight a lot. I never had that. I never fought with my bothers and sisters, we always got along. We weren't allowed to say the word "Stupid' or use the phrase "shut up". I've been wondering if I am the only one that has had this experience. I just don't see it happening in another family for some reason even though its so unrealistic of me to think so.
We were and still are the family that if you don't get to know them then they seem like perfect and they seem like they have no troubles at all. We got mad at each other but we always walked away or changed the subject. There has never been any physical violence, no swearing, or stuff like that going on in my family. I grew up being taught to not react when someone tries to push your buttons. I hear about these families that have constant fights and stuff and it just seems so foreign to me. I wasn't even allowed to date and now that I can I have no interest in anyone. It probably has something to do with the fact that I'm LDS I guess thats the reason but I know of a lot of families that live around me that are also LDS that have fights.
No matter how I look at it it just seems so weird! Despite living that way for my whole life it still baffles me how we could maintain such a calm household all the time. I guess I'm lucky.
Of course we do have our stresses like our money problems and stuff.
I was really sheltered. It has had negative effects like I don't know how to socialize with people very well face to face but that's not the primary reason for that I've actually been abandoned and left by a lot of friends I've had so of course that probably has to do with a large portion but still.
We were always taught to not focus too much on what the world thinks and likes and to focus on our own interests and not care about what is popular. so I don't care about politics, celebs, fashion, being popular and I do care about religion but I wont talk about it. Thats the effect of that.
