Attending family gatherings will mean submitting oneself into endless scrutiny of well-meaning relatives. I speak from experience. I know how it feels to enter a door and the elders will ask you if you are already thinking of marriage, am I aware of my biological clock ticking, am I finding it hard to find the man of my dreams, maybe I am not slim enough to entice a man, do I know that there is a diet pill that works and that I can ask their help to buy it, and so on and so forth.
I tolerate it because I know they mean well. But there are times when I pray that they just leave me to live my own life and not pressure me into doing something I am not ready yet.
In my family, either you keep secrets or everyone is completely “up in your business.”
Personally, I’ve gotten good at keeping my personal life seperate from my family, because I don’t think it is any of their business half the time.
Of course, you could always just snap at them and act crazy. Then they will just ignore you because you’re the “nut” of the family. XD
