All these comments from people I haven't seen posting in a long time!
I had a bf with a big family and lots of get togethers. I wasn't very interested in going there all the time. I want my weekends to myself and do stuff I like and not hang out with people where I can't be myself. Discussing politics, talking about clothes and acting interested in children is very exhausting to me. I need to pretend to be a different person at work already, so I really need to be who I am on my time off so I can recharge.
If you go to family events and aren't social, you will get lonely if you aren't fully engaging. Which will cause others to wonder what is going on with you.
If you don't go there, they will wonder why and find it rude.
I have no solution other than just not always going and find an excuse. Join every 3rd time and just say you have a conflict - birthday from your family or something else that sounds less selfish than "staying home."
