Poll of the Day > Is there anyone here who just doesn't enjoy being with their family?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I'm an introvert, so I enjoy time to myself and with people who share my interest. Interest that my family and friends do not share with me.

Everytime I spend time with my family, I just sit alone by myself. With the only people that I talk to are the kids that I am related to because I often watch them while their mothers are away doing something.

I dont wanna say doesnt enjoy but fewer like I dont belong and always away from everyone else? Absolutely

to be honest not really

by day 4 I am slamming the eject button

This is pretty much my siblings and mom. I am pretty chill with my dad.

My family as in my blood relatives? Ugh, I can barely tolerate some of them when I absolutely have to. I see all of them as rarely as humanly possible. I mean decades since I've seen some of them. I talk to my mom on the phone a lot because I'm apparently her binky, I talk to my grandma and dad on the phone occasionally, but that's about it.

My family as in my husband and cats? All about spending time together.

I enjoy being with my family and relatives and we see each other several times a year. But with one set of relatives in particular, there's some bad blood between theirs and my family so I try and keep a distance from them. I don't dislike them but I don't think they want me in their presence. I tried to say goodbye to said uncle once and offer a handshake, he wouldn't even acknowledge my presence.

This, to some extent. I've basically disowned most of my mother's side of the family and actively avoid them, to the point of essentially having disowned them. But that's not an antisocial thing, as much as them mostly being incredibly shitty human beings.

I'm fine with most of my father's family, though.

I'm a introvert in general but still enjoy socialising with my brother now and then. I also enjoying seeing my sister and her kids but I don't see them that much anymore. I live with my dad but most the time we just do our own thing.

My relatives should be regular guests on Jerry Springer, or enjoying life in prison, or being locked in a mental ward for a very long time. Definitely not an antisocial thing for me. :P

I'd like to keep in better contact with relatives, but I just never seem to get around to it.

Story time?

Would hardly know where to start. My oldest uncle raped all of his siblings? My youngest uncle tried to murder that uncle with a chainsaw in my living room? My male cousins pimped out my female cousin? Heroin, meth, just about everything everywhere? A hoarding house full of mouse turds? It's all fun.

I like spending time with my family. But since I live halfway across the country, I barely get to see them. That being said, they will start to get on my nerves with little things. Like my mom will complain about stuff like washing my shoes or iron everything. But other than that, I like being home....
