I feel this too. I don’t have a scientific answer but I feel like I can “turn it off” and just be fully myself without trying to be fluent around my parents and close family. When I’m with acquaintances, coworkers, etc. I’m on “on” mode to be as fluent as possible… which is a constant struggle. I think it’s a mental thing, knowing my family doesn’t care or judge.
