Feeling Trapped at Family Gatherings

Moonman that is a bit extreme. I agree that the post reads a bit judgey but it is also just BHC venting. The real issue is that their family is always around and their parents are forcing them to hang out even tho they have school work and other things to do which can be super frustrating. It’s less about them judging but when people are around all the time, a few key aspects of their personality will often start to annoy even if they seem petty.

I dont mean to be rude but you seem super rude .like i get not wanting to see them but some one being acword they cant really help And is it really your job to judge how much some one smokes if its not your body... You say she is a karen yet this post screams karen ... Your judgeing her on smoking when its not your job . No you shoudent have to see them but bluntly you aslo shoudent judge people based on how much they smoke or if they are acword . Smokeing typicly is to help stress so you no joke most likely are judgeing her for some thing that helps with stress that dont hurt you at all . Your a karen to dude .

dude sometimes family sucks :( hope you find a way to resolve your issues <3

it’s not wrong of u to say at all, i get it. for me it’s more of my immediate family rather than extended. but this past summer i got a job for the reason i wanted to get away from them. and i’m still working at the same place and i try to be out of the house as much as possible. like i feel guilty for not missing them at all although i hardly see them anymore, but it’s just such a relief to have a full conversation with my mom like once a week rather than multiple times a day. if u can, try getting out of ur house as much as possible. whether it’s a job, a library, a friend’s house, anything. it’s really refreshing to be more on your own rather than family constantly annoying u

When I was younger, 13ish I got sick of my family too, stopped having birthdays, stopped going to birthdays, shut everyone out, and began to cut. It resolved when I found somewhere to put my anger or pent up energy, speaking to them about what you don't like helps as well. It takes a lot of courage and time but things will get better.
