Member-only story
The holiday season is always a bit hard for me because I don’t want to answer the same questions every time.
-What are you doing nowadays?
-Where’s your girlfriend?
-Are you gaining weight?
ironically, these questions are demoralizing even though the intentions may have been good. And it’s one after another at these family get-togethers.
If I sit in the corner on my iPhone or watching TV, then I get hit with the “what’s wrong?”.
When I answer “nothing”, then they ask the same question to my sister or mom.
Nothing is going on, really.
I just don’t want to be interrogated when I’m with my family. I don’t ask about or air out your problems in front of others so please, don’t think you are better than me when everyone is around.
