Alevel results day advice pls

On results day, how can I politely refuse to share my grades with others, even if I got good (considering that everyone's idea of 'good' is different)? Aso, IK I'll have to tell my family but since they weren't the most supportive, how can i delay telling them?

To politely refuse sharing your grades, you can say, "Thank you for asking, but I'd prefer to keep my results private," or, "I appreciate your interest, but I'd rather not discuss my grades right now." If you want to change the subject, try, "It's been a long journey, hasn't it? What are your plans next?" or use humour, "Let's just say I'm happy it's over!"

To delay telling your family, you can say, "I'd like to discuss my results after I've had time to process everything. Can we talk about it over the weekend?" or, "I need some time to absorb everything before discussing it." Alternatively, mention other priorities, "I have some other things to take care of today, but let's sit down and talk about my results tomorrow," or be honest but tactful, "Given how stressful this process has been, I need a little space before discussing my results with anyone."

Thank you very much! Thing is I'm not as worried about my grades (except english), just that people around me consider my alevels as trivial and incomparable to someone going into med, etc. Honestly, it makes me feel like a failure and as if I'm doing something useless and impractical in uni. The worst thing is i chose my course on a whim after changing it from law (last week of ucas) and im worried that i may not even be interested in my course since idk much yet. e.g. going into english wld be more comfortable as im familiar with it. sorry for the long msg.
