Yea thats what I do. I also hate sitting at a table with basically my uncle, grandma, aunt, parents and 3 cousins. And my mom tells me to put some pimple stuff on, In front of every person, and everyones laughing at me, I just left the room and yelled at my parents later.
Wow, that's kind of harsh of 'em. I've never had a big family gathering but even just being around my siblings and parents is kinda eh. I prefer one on ones so I can actually feel like a part of the conversation lol.
Everyone talks down on me. Thinking I am some perfect angel that needs to follow rules and say what they want me to say. I won't take it. I speak up, I don't care what they think, my opinion and voice will be heard whether they like it or not. And my cousins are so immature... I prefer the same.
