Why do I feel awkward around my dad?
Your dad probably adores you, especially if you are turning to look like your mom. Then he would be remembering the times when he first fell in love with her.I watched in awe of my son and daughters when they were turning into beautiful and handsome people. It is an amazing feeling that we, the parebts, who created these tiny tots and now become full grown human beings. I am sure your dad has looked at you adoringly since you were a baby.On the dark side of the story, i know of a father who fell in love with his daughter. She would be hiding in her closet, petrified, in her dorm because dad was downstairs longingly calling for her.So not to make you paranoid; know the boundaries between parents-children. Appropriate touches is ones that you get to decide. Other than that, he is the man who loves you since you were born.

How to stop being so shy around family?
I;m 14. I'm not shy in front of my like immediate family, like my mom, dad, and brother, but I'm really shy around some of my aunt, uncles, and cousins. Only a few of them though. I'm fine around my grandma, and a lot of people on my dads side, but when it gets to like my moms side, I barely say a word to my cousins. I used to when I was younger but as I got older I just got really shy! What can I do to not be so shy but also not be like outrageously loud and annoying because that's not my personality. I'm not a shy person for the most part but around some people I am.
I'm so shy around my boyfriends parents?
Just make sure you are friendly so that shy is not mistaken for snobby or unfriendly. They will understand that you are simply "slow to warm up" and it will come with time! But do make effort even if you feel awkward about. Initiate conversation with them - tell about things going on in your life - ask them questions, etc. They will most likely notice and appreciate your effort.
I don't feel comfortable around my stepdad?
Now he has not done anything to make me uncomfortable, like staring at me or touching me inappropriately. I also call him dad because I have known him since I was 1. He is really nice and funny, and has two older kids that already have kids of their own. But I just can't wear a tanktop and shorts around him. If I do, he doesn't act weird or anything, it's just that my friends can walk around in tank tops and underwear around their dads, but I can't. I could walk around naked in front of my mom if I wanted to lol, but not my dad. Is it normal for me to feel this way? Again, he hasn't done anything inappropriate, he's like a normal dad. :) thanks in advance P.S i'm 13
I feel really off around my dad, like strange and uncomfortable, or violated. What do I do?
First off, you are right to seek advice on this, but you should maybe review where the best place to find said advice is. The second thing you need to ask yourself is, has your father done anything or said anything that would warrant you to feel like this, or is it really just a sixth sense. If it's the latter, I'm not trying to devalue your feelings on it, as I believe that instinct is a powerful subconscious function and likely more reliable than it is given credit for; but you still need to figure out why you feel that way.Some questions to think about for why you might feel uncomfortable around your father:Has he been away for a long time/often?Has he said or done anything to make you lose trust/feel unsafe with him?Has it always been like this/Is it a recent thing? If so, what/when did that change and why?Do you have a good relationship with him/or have previously had a good relationship?I could go on, but the bottom line is that you need evaluate what (if anything) has changed, why it has changed and above all, are you safe? If you aren't, then please, do what ever you can do become safer. And, if you can, tell an adult or older family member (I'm assuming your school aged here)
