Don’t want to go to Christmas get together tomorrow

TheNightmare

I just don’t want to go to the family get-together tomorrow because I don’t enjoy these things in general, and it’s just some Christmas party stuff. I don’t even know exactly what’s planned, but I feel like I’d be better off staying at home. It feels pointless, having Christmas dinner together, sitting around in the room, and it’s just going to be noisy and crowded as it has been every other year. It’s the Christmas dinner part I think I don’t like the most. I really just can’t be bothered, and it’s just boring.

I used to feel like this too when I lived back home. I didn't enjoy big family things, always found them to be too much and I knew I would enjoy doing other stuff way more.

If it helps, something that helped me get through them was making the most of the alone time I had. Popping out for a walk so I can wear my headphones for a bit, or even silly things like going to the bathroom and spending extra time in there just to recharge. Taking just a little more time away from everyone else to give myself breaks from it all.

Out of interest, why don't you like the Christmas dinner part in particular?

I've felt the same for years tbh. I'll probably just leave if things kick off. I think the dinner part during previous years I've just got full because there so much which sometimes hasn't sat well, then just crowded round the table because maybe after dinner we could separate around the house a bit but dinner we have to have it together. Thank you so much for replying @JustV though mate, I'm so sad to see you leave soon too bro, I really appreciate everything you've done and I really wish you the absolute best, you're such a good lad.
