Am I an Asshole for Wanting Recognition at My Sister's Graduation Party?

No you're not the asshole, just seems like your family is, at least in this situation. I see you have Depression and anxiety but can't see what medications you're on if any. Stuff like Xanax should help you attend but idk. I'd say alcohol to help you loosen up (but don't mix with a benzo) but I'm guessing you're graduating high school and not college so not sure if you can even drink. If you can, just don't make a habit of it. I'd say at least try.. it's the hardest first step to make, and if you can't handle it, leave. But you don't deserve any of this, none of us do, but I'd understand why you wouldn't even want to try with how they're treating you. But if you do go, can't take meds or drink, then I'd at least get away from it, try to meditate and focus on your breathing if shit is hitting the fan for you, but it's up to you. Goodluck and congrats!!

Congratulations on graduating 🎓 👏 🙌

That is a tricky situation. My older sister and I's Birthdays are ten days apart. She will come visit for her Birthday and we typically buy her a cake and sing her happy birthday, I will get gifts but they don't sing to me because it my sister's actual Birthday, this year we ended up not getting a dessert on my Birthday. It didn't bother me too much though. I don't think there is a perfect way to handle that. Your sister might want her own party since you probably got your own party for high school graduation. Irregardless I think you should have either a combined party or a separate party if your sister wants her own. You should be honored for your achievement. Are you graduating the same weekend?

Your family seems to be acting rude for childish reasons. They should understand that you can't make it through the entire thing, you should at least be acknowledged. You have every right to be upset.

You are not an asshole at all its pretty rude how they are being. I have agoraphobia. They shoud at least throw a party at home for you or at least take you to a place you enjoy where you know you wont get stressed out.

Sounds kinda like other people are worried more about appearances than your feelings. Sorry that's happening at a time you should be celebrating. So I'm gonna say congrats on graduating 🎓! I hope for great things in your future!🎉 ...and your not an asshole, but some of your family might be!
