RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

My relatives are in NYC like 2 hours away, I don't go there often. So tiring. Fucking traffic and like sitting in a moving metal box (aka: a car) for 2 fucking hours... what the fuck lol. I remember being there in 2024 like December I think. I was so tired. So many relatives I don't wanna talk to, like nothing I wanna talk about. I was in the height of my depression and my parents forced me to go, under the threat of cutting me off if I don't, so I went. And I hate it. Nothing to do with them, I was dealing with depression, the last thing I need was a forced socialization. Took like a month for me to recharge my "battery" and like be at baseline "calm" again. (baseline is still very anxious)

As in my immediate family...

I dont even know if we are still family anymore or just the remnants of a loose bond initially forged through the connection of our blood/DNA.
