Question

makes me be numb to the family depress or not i told my aunt if family is like that i rather be alone and she said thats not good either i said yeah but iam hurting myself and my family wont be the reason anymore so how do i enjoy myself with family during the holidays

Answer 1

Honestly, if the thought of spending time with your family makes you cringe then you shouldn't. Either go by the house and stay for a few minutes or just give a call and spend the day with yourself or whomever you wish. The holidays are for being thankful and for not for being miserable.
