Do you like being around your family?

Question

they aren't bad people but i cant think of many worse ways to spend my night than with them. i only see them a handful of times a year at best anyway, although i used to see them a lot more when i was younger.

it isn't a nice thing to say but i don't really think i would care if i ever saw them again, it just sucks to be around them. the thought of christmas and stuff just fills me with dread that i am going to have to sit through another one in 4 months time.

is it wrong to think like this? i just don't care to be around them.

Answer 1

I Know This Feeling Only To Well, Have Been There Myself. You Shouldnt Be Feeling This Way When You Think Of Your Family. Maybe You Have Some Fears Or Maybe A Touch Of Depression ?? Do You Prefer To Be Alone Or With People? Without More Info It Is Very Difficult To Answer.

Answer 2

no i dont like being around my family over the holidays cause we always get in to a fight i hate holidays so yea its normal

Answer 3

The question is why don't you like being around them? Do they fight all the time, any specific reasons? It's normal wanting to be someplace else when you've a family that keeps fighting all day. But if it's only because they're not fun, I'd say you're being real rude to them.  

Answer 4

Answer 5

I think you are over dramatizing the whole episode.  It is only for a few hours and it will make others happy.  I love my family but I do like the miles I have put between myself and them.  Suck it up and enjoy the holiday.  Once the family members die, you soon regret the bad feeling you harbor

Answer 6

No i don't think it's wrong. I love my family to death but sometimes they just get on my nerves and i don't wanna be around them. I'm more of a loner anyways.  

Answer 7

i feel the same towards my family, it's just because we're not close, i don't love them, but i don't hate them either, i just don't like them. i first thought it was their fault because they never really tried talking to me. i felt locked inside my own self, but wen u think about it...how could they really help if they don't know? look, if u wanna fix it, talk 2 them about it, but if u don't, then just leave it as it is. And to answer ur question, yes, it is wrong but it's their fault as well as yours.

Answer 8

Yes I love my mom(I only live with her all the chicks have left the nest) and shes my best friend I can trust her with anything. But at the same time "hanging out" with her as a friend just doesn't excite me much. Its just a parent-kid thing. Their still the "boring parents" every once in awhile.

Answer 9
