I take it your family is very constrained, emotionally.

Why? Normally families act different in front of company. It's the sitcoms that make up think otherwise perhaps.

I get asked the weirdest questions when company is over, too. New questions, I've never been asked before, and ones designed to shame, or ride me with guilt. So maybe it's not weird, for me anyways.

I wish I understood that one... I don't know the age of any of my siblings. Let alone my parents, or my own half the time. Really.

So that's a deviance from true self? You prefer conforming inside your emotionally contained families?
Big deal... you're attracted to "evil", for lacks of better terms.
I don't know these things, it's part asking, and part saying...
Anyways, I've spooked myself out with this post...
