Family gathering

Tomorrow is my mom’s side Christmas gathering. All the cousins and their kids and the aunties and uncles will all be there. I’m not feeling good about it.

You nervous about being around people? I get that way

My cousin’s husband is so arrogant. She’s not. I don’t know why she married him.

I like everyone there but I feel awkward

I’ve never been able to drop that feeling either, paranoia is the worst.

I hear ya. I know a few couples like that. My nephew married a witch but they live far away so they are never at gatherings

I have the same issue. I hate having to get together with the extended family for Christmas. They’re nice enough people, but it’s stressful for me being around them all. I hope you get through it all ok.

I skipped my share of family gatherings over the years. didn’t like them when I was younger. but I’ve been going to them now…I just sit there and let the old people talk, I chime in on occasion but am mostly ignored, it’s no big deal.
