I mean like, actually understand beyond just exchanging a few words a day. Like knowing hobbies, favorite foods, political opinions, favorite tv/movie/youtube channels/music/genre of entertainment, etc… overall likes and dislikes… you know what I mean…
As to why I’m asking: I feel like my family is just a bunch of strangers sometimes…
I feel like nobody really understands me.
Understand my parent very well, but that came later in life when I realized that they are humans like the rest of us.
Same with my kid. I completely understood all the shit he did.
That doesn’t mean I forgive either for their bullshit not do hold their bullshit against them.
We are all humans and have our bullshit.
