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.

For the most part, I'd like to think I know my parents, but in reality I probably only know maybe a couple feet's below the surface. Couldn't tell you what their favorite movie is ( I could make a general guess with my dad because I know his obsessions ) or their favorite author, but I could tell you their political stance to a degree at least.

As for whether they know me, in a way I hope they don't know abouty specific AceFuzzLord shtick or another online handle I created because I have some furry subculture interests and other interests I don't wanna tell them about since I known as a fact my dad would never shut up and stop making jokes and jabs about them every single chance he gets ( like how he makes sexual jokes about me and my stuffed animals, like the sick, immature man he can be ).
