    i have declined an invitation to attend a family reunion this weekend, a function i have previously attended for years.

    i am already feeling the FOMO and boredom and disappointment of relatives. but on the other hand, i am honoring my commitment to my mental health.

    … going down both sides of this cycle, and I damned reunion hasn’t even started yet.

      It is kinda weird seeing someone with a similar method of thinking as me for this kind of scenario. My family wants me to go to the family parties, but I for the life of me have absolutely no desire to do so. They are good people and I have no qualms with them, but I have no desire to see them outside of an occasional small interaction.

      Am I alone with that thought process? It feels like I am.
