I'm 23 (and, a girl myself!), and there is a party tonight for the two of us. The problem is she's my cousin and I'm the only she's going to know there. There will be people around my age and older at the party (it's kinda formal), but I'm going to feel tied down to this little 14-year-old girl. I could introduce her to the others, but she's the type to want me to talk to her only. I want to have fun, but how can I include her in it?
We're very close and she really looks up to me, but we're more like friends than cousins when we're alone. It's just that I enjoy acting goofy and 14 when I'm with her, but I want to be my real self at the party. Plus she and her mother love dressing up, and they always comment on my being underdressed. I dress to please myself, and a lot of people like the way I look, but it bothers me when I hear this from them, too. I love my aunt and cousin, but they can be kinda tiresome at times. Aaargh......
Am I being selfish? What can I do?
