Does this make me a horrible person?
Well, it's Easter. Yay.
Does it make me a horrible person for not going with my family to my Grandma's house? I just don't like being around all the family I hardly know and such, so they're letting me stay home. Has anyone else opted not to join in the family gatherings and such today, like me? |
I do it all the time. xD
I haven't gone to family get togathers for quite some time now. I hate my family. Dx I always end up arguing and getting in a bad mood when I'm around them. D:< But this time, I decided to go to my grandmas for easter cause I feel bad that I haven't gone in forever. I'll just play my DS in the corner or something. xD But seriously, you're not bad. I hate my family too. xDD |
it's not easter yet for me... but i know the feeling...
no,you are not a bad person...it's something normal... well i have the same problem as Prince Ericor has because my family is really complicated... so last easter i just went with my friends in a club... it was way much fun than i would have with them... this easter (: next month because i am orthodox ) i am going to have a party at my boyfriend's house ... we will just have some fun... well personally i just believe that easter is just another day... and that's because when i get happy on easter,something bad is happening... maybe it's because i don't really have luck on this day... |
nah, you're not horrible. you can't really choose your family, and it's not your fault if you don't like them.
I don't like some of my family, and I try to avoid those people. like my aunt (who is very sweet) has this husband who is always telling stupid dirty and sexist jokes and making sexist comments and stuff like that .. >.< to LITTLE GIRLS! ewww! I don't speak to him. I shake his hand when we meet and then avoid him for the rest of the time. |
Sagitar: Wow, someone should seriously tell him to stop. That's just borderline creepy o-O
Darkmissy: Well, that sounds like fun. I hope the party goes good :3 Prince Ericor: It's not that I hate them, it's that I don't really know a lot of the people there as much as some of my other aunts. There's a whole side of my family I don't even know XD But yeah, I get what you mean, though I couldn't play my DS in a corner >_> Too many distractions. |
my family all comes to my house..i usually leave to a friends house after a wile cause i dont like parts of my family.

I'm good at blocking things out. xD I have an annoying little sister to help with that. :'D |
*shrugs* Not really, I mean I know how you feel with not knowing much about family gatherings. Personally it feels like a lot[not all] of my cousins are distant from me, so I usually end up not wanting to be with them. As for easter I have allergies and a fear of flowers O_o, so yeah not going egg hunting XD. I try to talk to the few of those that don't totally hate me or steal one of my cousin's game systems[yeah he's rich :\] x). Also, I'm kind of tired from the party I went to yesterday..and they understand that XD.

today im not even haveing a dinner, though my friend named ashley is staying home from her dinner just up the street from her, i guess she doesn't like it...I have no idea, but i don't think it makes you a bad person .
|
You're a horrible person and you're going to burn in Hell for all eternity.
-nods- I really don't think that it's anything too bad. No one likes going to things like that and being around people that you don't know too well for hours can be awkward. The fact that you felt guilty enough to make this thread proves that you're not a bad person. :lol: |
Yup... I even ran everyone out of the house on my birthday because my mom always invited family over >.<
I hate being bunched in a small room with family I don't know when... I have a fear of large groups >.< (demophobia) yet I usually get forced anyways and I just sit in a corner... @ Nesica - Is it warm? *shivers* |
God will never forgive you. NEVER. D: !~~
I always attend family things. I like my family. kthxbai <:. |
I've disowned my moms half of the family. Does that make me a bad person? No. I don't like them and so why should I have to put up with them?
And yet if you look at me with my dads side of the family you can't imagine a closer family. So no, I don't think it makes you a bad person. There's generally reasons why people don't like their family and why should they be forced to attend family functions just because they share genetic coding? |
No, it doesn't make you a bad person. It's easter here to and i'm home all alone right now while my parents went out with my family.
|
I do it all the time.
I don't like my family. On my mom's side of the family, everyone gets drunk at the family gatherings and then they start screaming and and throwing up and stuff like that. On my dad's side, everyone is old and boring. ...And they ask stupid questions... ...And they're very forgetful so they ask you the same stupid questions over and over again. |
No, it doesn't make you a terrible person. I don't like going and hanging out with a bunch of family I see about twice a year, there's a reason I only see them twice a year, I don't want to see them any more than that.
|
No it dosent make you a horrible person, but I have skipped out on family ocassions and found myself wishing I would of gone afterwards. You see I wished i would have gone to all those family things now because my grampaul is dead now and I just wish I would of took all those times so I would have been with him more.
|
No, it doesn`t make you a bad person. I do that every now and then, it usually depends on the occasion. :') Like birthdays, anniversary`s, family reunions, big commercial holidays; I always go to those, other times, I don`t. XD
But it does make it see like you`re a bad person to your extended family. I should know, it happens to me every time I decide not to go any family parties because I`m sick, or I just don`t want to see certain people there. XD My cousins from my dad`s side are really... uh... cocky, and really stuck-up. You have to try really hard to gain their trust. They talk a lot of smack though. XD My aunts and uncles from my dad`s side are really funny though, and I fully enjoy their company... most of the time. :'P My cousins from my mom`s side are all younger than me by a bunch of years. :'D And I`d be lying if I said that I didn`t enjoy their company. Their conversations get really funny though, when they start talking about the Easter Bunny, or "the crane", or certain shows. Then they start acting them out. XD So cute! My aunts and uncles from my mom`s side are all really religious, so their really sweet to talk to. :') I go to a bunch of family parties though, because I`m afraid of missing something big. XD |
We never hang around with the extended family because we always get into fights. It's kind of sad because I miss going to my other Gramma's and being there, but I can't do that now anyway. She used to hide eggs and even put some fluff in the door to mae us think the Easter bunny got his tail caught.
Getting to the point, no you're not a bad person; you're just anti-social. Just kidding. ; - ) |
You're not a bad person... but someday you may regret it. You never know when that might be the last time you had a chance to see someone...

I missed a bunch of family gatherings the past few years because I've been having health problems. Now that I can go though I usually do. I don't really enjoy it and like alot of you I don't know some of my realitives very well. My great aunts on my mother's side in paticular I have problems remembering whos who.
But now that I can go I would feel super guilty if I didn't. Everyone wants so badly to see me and know that I'm better and all. It's real stressful for me but I know it makes them feel better. Luckily, I have my sister and we can kinda go off into the couner after all the happy / awkard hellos are out of the way and just talk and joke around. |
No, you're not horrible at all.^^
I don't often go to family things. Yes I have love for my family but I much rather stay at home. They usually bring me home food and stuff though. I just..hate being asked so many questions from family. How are your grades? How is school? How is orchestra? Are you on honor roll? Are you going to college? Do you have a boyfriend? And they pick on me alot too. I just don't feel comfortable telling them so much. And then, everyone will talk about all my younger cousins and everything they're in and all their grades and then when I do talk about mine I just get overlooked.>___> |
I opted not to go to an Easter lunch with my stepfamily for the very same reason. I don't know them very well and they try so hard to help me fit in that it's very awkward for me (well, at least this twig on the stepfamily tree does. The others are normal). So basically I did the same thing, and you shouldn't feel bad. -hugs-
|
YES YOU ARE! Jkd! Naw! You are not a bad person for that. I have felt like that lots of times. Its a horrible feeling. You dont want to go to the family gatherings for whatever reason (mine is I cant stand my cousins, they are soooo stuck up -.- ) and then you feel guilty or whaterver for not going or they try to make you feel guilty which is worse O.o Now that Im older I dont get too harrased to go to those things which is good. I can be a couch potato all day if I want ^^

As a teenager I couldn't get far enough away from family events, I think that is pretty common. Even as an adult, I have times where I enjoy being at family gathering other times I can't get away fast enough. I don't think it makes you a bad person. If you are rude about it or mean to get out of it, then yes that would be bad. Opting out doesn't make you anything but doing what is best for you.
