Who gives better advice? The family knows your behavior better than anyone, why do people fear judgment from their family?
 
For myself I like to get a range of advice from both people I know and don’t know.

It’s not always fear of judgement.
Sometimes there are power dynamics going on, and people think that asking for advice is an admission of weakness or ignorance, and sadly, some people love giving advice because they think it puts them in a position of power.
Their advice might actually be good, but then they start to see themselves as the leader or the grownup in the relationship…
 
I don’t know. Why DO you fear judgment of them?
Honestly, if you want to get along with them you have to make and effort.
Start a simple, (non dramatic, non defensive, loving) dialog.

They probably wonder what makes you tick.
Show them you have grown up
