My aunts hate me

I never liked it when my mother gossips with my aunts. They expect me to join in and participate, while I know nothing about what's happening with our family. So I prefer to steer away from their little juicy discussion, and do my own thing while my mother finishes. I'm her chauffeur, so yeah! I wait for her all day long. And my aunts always say that i'm an anti-social, and I don't give enough effort to get to know my family. Haha, they are so cuteee!! If only I could cuddle them to deatthhh lol

Hi, lilmuchang. It sounds like your aunts are jealous of you because your are doing things for your mom. This is very sad. Your aunts should not talk about you like that. If they think that you are so anti-social, then they should offer to invite you out to places. Talking about you is not going to help make the situation any better. Your mom should not even gossip with your aunts, that is unhealthy.

Aunts and some member of the families wouldn't do anything bad if you just stay and keep in touch with them, perhaps you should get along with them more often, maybe they just need more time to get to know you better.

I hate my aunts on my mums side, they are so like opposite on my dad's side! they were all professionals, but they act as if they never went to school! they were rude and tactless!specially my other aunt who is a school principal! i never liked the way she talks to me! they enjoy gossiping about me and guess what my mom believes what ever they say! as they always say..."you can choose your friends..but not our relatives"..

It is personal choice, if you don't want to join their little gossip group, you don't have to. You do whatever that make you happy. You don't have to listen to you aunt. If you love your family, you don't have to gossip all day long to love your family or to get to know them. You already know your aunt pretty well, that is why you don't want to join her.

i think your aunts just want to bond with you. haha! but then again, it's your own choice whether you like to join them or not. maybe you should just explain them that you have your own likes such as doing your own stuff or things alone. somehow i guess they misinterpreted your actions. just talk to them and i believe they will understand you. after all, they are still your relatives.

i can actually see myself in you. i also dont like to chat with them that much and i also dont like them to talk about me. maybe it's my being shy and introverted. some of them dont understand why im like that. they dont know that there are really types of people who would rather spend time with themselves than chat or gossip with people.

Hi, lilmuchang! I'm glad to find a similar friend. I prefer doing my own things quietly rather than joining boring chats with relatives too, and they also said I'm a solitary. So I can completely understand you. Is there anything really worth chatting? Anti-socials, let's unite!

Oh lord. Well the reason you want to stay out of the conversation is because; you have more to do than talk about people you don't know. In other words, your not bored out of your mind. If I was bored enough, and had nothing exciting going on in my life for a long time; I could make a soap opera out of the lizards that creep into my plants on my apartment patio! If they want gossip! Give them gossip! Not about what they are talking about but things that annoy them: Positive things. How well your doing How well your friends or doing How well your dads doing; hell how good the cat's doing Next, ask them for advice. I know it sounds crazy but people who usually don'ttake the high road feel very upstanding and moral when someone asks them for their expertise. The bottom line is your young and vibrant and have your whole life ahead of you so your the way in which they can justify their wrong actions. It is wrong what their doing, but just take it with a grain of salt. Keep out of it like your doing. If you want to take it one step further, annoy them. Of course don't tell them about the new guy you like so they can camp out on his doorstep. Just talk about your period, your teachers (they can't confront them) your "lame" places to go on the weekends (if there are none make them up) Overall, They are feeding off you feeling uncomfortable. The moment they feel you are relaxed they will get bored with you and wait to pick on your little sister. I'm just kidding, but all joking aside; there are plenty of ways to annoy them without talking about people. If they keep being rude and pushy, get out of their lives somehow (aunts) family or not, there are plenty of life long friends or even neighbors out there that have stronger bonds than with their extended family. Who ever is out to get you is out to get you. I hope this helps. p.s I know you are carrying a lot of unessarsary grief and guilt about this annoying situation. In your head let it go. They don't run your life, but if they feel they gain an inch you give them a yard.

Hi lilmuchang. I understood. My brother is just like you. he don't join the discussion with friends and relatives. He prefer stay in his room and lock the door. Not because he don't like them, but because he have nothing to say. He is a man with few words. And maybe your like this. I don't think your aunt hate you, maybe she just don't understand you. Or maybe your just a shy type person. So silent but when speak, you make people laugh.

Let your mother gossip with your aunt.Let them do anything they like.if they force you to give company,just pretend and stay near them.Never let them hurt and instead make them happy by pretending.I think your aunt will start to like you after that.

I understand whats your nature is...since i am also like you. I don't get into any gossip at home. When i was i never wanted to get in serious gossip of the family because i wasn't ready to handle it since i was young. Now i m grown up even though i don't like still i have to because its become duty to talk to them and know the things what happening in home.
