So if this is new behavior it could be many different things. There is some hidden fear in your subconscious. It doesn't have to be a rational fear to have this affect on you.
You need to have a talk with yourself. When you ask yourself what is bothering you, why do I act like that, I want to do this so I can face this fear. You are giving your subconscious mind the comfortable environment in which to share what it is that is bothering you. Take some guesses, ask like it was another person sitting there. Like, has my likes and interests changed so much that I am afraid they won't like the new me, so I am afraid to be me when I am around them now, or whatever questions pop into your mind.
I am guessing this is something new so its likely nothing that your family is doing wrong but the battle is in your mind. Good luck with that dear [ Dragonflymagic's advice column | Ask Dragonflymagic A Question ]
