every once in a year me and my family always comes to this occasion day where many big family tree gathering together in one place, it is just like christmas or thanksgiving day, i really not enjoyed this gathering several years back. i don't know ,i don't feel joy there or i don't feel like something when i get along with them because i don't have any story to tell.my life is bored.jobless. the men are always talking about their job,ego and bla bla bla and the women mostly talking about gossip and other women stuff and bla bla .do you know what ?i hate this occasion.year by year i came and when my mood stress level become more negative i always sitting in the front garden smoking just waiting this occasion over, i even can not hear some music from my ipod cause their sound is louder than my ipod.last year i intended not to come but my dad persuaded me. bottom line for me this gathering is a bad day for me.how about you ? do you have something in common?

A family gathering becomes unbearable when every single member attending has individualistic thoughts about anything. In the good old days elders ruled the roost and there was some common ground to participate.

I dread lots of family occasions, but they are usually events that are to do with my husbands parents, uncles and sister etc. I just get on with it. You are lucky that you have just one day out of the year to put up with it, I have to have my inlaws visiting for weeks and weeks at a time.
If I were you I would just thorw yourself into the occasion, you must have some common ground with someone, plus if you get involved and maybe help out the time will pass much quicker. Just remember that it is only one day a year, and you never know if you are more sociable you may find out about a job opportunity while you are talking to people.
