      That’s what I would say too. I love my family and they love me, but I think had we not been related they wouldn’t choose to be around me. They are rather boring people and their favorite thing to do is sit at home and do nothing. I like to do stuff and try new things. They don’t.

    • Correct. I give a 2 minute chat with Mom on: her bday, Mother’s Day, and Christmas. That’s it. Not sure how many more. She’s 87.

      I don’t speak with my 3 older siblings. I’ll be forced to speak with my sister that lives with my Mom when it comes time to spread Mother’s ashes. If, she let’s me know.

    They’re fine people, but we don’t really share any interests. I’d be unlikely I’d ever meet them.

    I don’t talk to a lot of people, but there’s no reason I’d specifically avoid them. I lucked out, and they’re pretty cool people.

    More to the point, my family are the people who shaped who I am in both nature and nurture. If they weren’t my family, I would not be me.

    My dad, probably. My mom, absolutely not. Of course, I barely talk to anyone I don’t live with, and I’m 38, so I wouldn’t actually talk to either of them.

    I talked to my parents. But not my sister because there were enough people on here who spout incoherent conspiracy theories. I don’t need to hear it in person.

    Did you know that there are pyramids, built by an ancient technologically advanced civilization, under the Atlantic Ocean? Because my sister does. Also the covid vaccine is bad for you, but that’s a boring one.

    No and I’m already to that point.

    It’s just my two older brothers that are left. One is a narcissist and not worth my time. The other is a rabid Gravy SEAL who would rather have Kyle Shittenhouse as his brother than me.

    It’s not just politics that separates me from them, there is a lot of family history of disrespect and attempted abuse.

    If I somehow met my sister as like a friend of a friend, we’d get along. As for the rest of my family, I’m just waiting for them to die so I don’t have to answer their phone calls anymore.
