I really dont get on with my parents

I feel really low tonight, like to the point of tears because i just feel like my parents hate me. I always feel super awkward around them. I live with my dad, and basically just being around him or in the same room and stuff just feels so awkward, i dont have anything to talk to him about or anything and he just seems super judgemental. Same with my mum who i dont live with, but when she calls me it just seems super awkward. We dont have a very nice family relationship like we used to when I was little and just being around them is so awkward. I dont know why i feel this way but its really upset me today. I dont want things to be awkward with us but they just are, its like hanging out with strangers.

Thanks lunar cat. I don't think I could really talk to them about it since they would just get mad and it would probably make it worse, I just really hope it magically gets better and stuff since its really hard. Thank you though
I'm not sure if it helps but I feel similar about my extended family - not as far that they hate me, but I do feel like an outsider, removed from everyone. It's very complicated as I really enjoy spending time with them as I don't see them much but I just feel like I'm treated slightly differently, I don't know why, and I struggle to initiate conversation, and it's not looking like something I'll just grow out of.
