Why do my family interupt me with questions every time I sing?

Humans are the only creatures that actually sings. They figure "your not doing anything at all" because chances are they have lack of faith or believes your going to go to a talent audition and leave them forever, and appear in a hotel lounge or venue or open areas performing. They are holding you down.

Ask yourself what are they into and what are their trades/skills/jobs/and areas of studies/hobbies/activities and then do the math.

They are holding you down. Again depending on the type of questions as well.

My aunt sang in her quire ( I think that is what it is called ). It moves me to tears. She sings in her showers, and enjoyed country music on her birthday.
The rest of family was shy, held back, cowards. Never sang, just be like the stereotype rubbish, and followed what was current. "That is not new that is old" bs mentality. She was taken from us via Cancer around fifty. Her son my cousin of same age passed at 23-24. Survives by her one daughter she had when she was sixteen before the guy she married.

Talent like that is like lighting. Does not strike twice.

Again human beings are the only creatures on the planet that sings. Birds do not sing they communicating as with Mice. Same with any other animals of the world. Communications. Singing is being more human then human.

They just don't consider what you are doing to have any value beyond personal entertainment. If you want them to consider it otherwise, you will have to tell them.

I would classify their constant interruptions as negative feedback, obviously they are not interested in listing to your singing.

1. Do you have any examples of your friends giving you positive comments about your singing?

2. Exactly what positive comments did your friends say about your singing?

3. Did your friends say that your voice is amazing?

4. Did your friends say that they love the sound of your voice?

5. Did your friends ask you to sing for them?

6. Do your friends plead and beg you to sing a song for them?

7. I am just trying to get clarification of what you are asserting as being positive comments.

8. Give us some examples.

9. Tell us some of the things your friends actually said to you.

It's my thought maybe the family feels besieged by your singing and hopes to put a stop to it.

Thank you for your answer, my family are a bit of a co-dependent mess so seems fitting, what you said. Sorry about your Aunt and cousin, may they rest in peace &>---<-----

Thank you for your answer, yes, it is very evident that I value different things to my family. I don't particulary want them to value what I do, just curious where this behaviour is coming from. I think I will leave my singing to karaoke nights with friends instead lol

XD LOL Yup!! I think you are spot on hahaha

1. Yes, I sing regular karaoke with a group of friends and they always put in requests for songs they want me to sing.
2. I guess, it's more constructive feedback, like they like my vibrato, or give me ideas of what songs my voice would suit. I get wooed when I belt florence and the machine, I've been approached by strangers at karaoke bars who have told me I have an amazing voice. I don't mean to toot my own horn, I am not like that at karaoke, I prefer to sing backup for someone because I get nervous singing in front of lots of people.
3. I never liked singing because I had a bad experience when I was young, but my friends were surprised when I started singing, because they never heard me before. I think they are good friends because they encouraged me, even when I told them I have a terrible voice lol
4. No one has told me they love the sound of my voice, but I send my cats to sleep when I sing and play guitar lol
5. Yes, I've been embarrased when one of my friends asked me in front of a large group of people.
6. I've been put on the stop a couple of times, but people don't beg me to sing, I don't think I'm that good. I need some lessons lol
7., 8., 9. I guess, they are just more supportive. But some comments have been; "You have a beautiful voice", "Can you sing this song with me?", "Can you sing this song?", "Wow, I didn't know you could sing.", "What taf!" "Ok.. maybe just Jazz can sing that song.", complete opposite to my family's reaction.

Lois and Peter singing high

Yes.. besieged is probably the right verb. I don't sing in front of them anymore.

XD LOL, tehehe that could help me overcome my nerves LOL XD

I'm sorry. My family hates my singing too.

That's okay, let's sing like nobody's listening hehehe =D
