Do you ever feel like a stranger in your home when people are over? (1 Viewer)

Currently happening rn.
I should be resting and instead im trying to avoid awkward silent moments and overhearing endless gossip.

If only I had a basement. When I lived with my parents. I would just stay in the bathroom.

People barely come over to our home so no

 

[Hoemantic]

Yeah cuz why is there people in my space??? Unless you give me a drink, I'll come out

Well....... what's that quote? "I'm not trapped in the house with them. They're in the house trapped with ME."
Or something like that.

In other, civilized words ~ No, I don't feel like a stranger in my home when people I know visit.

It should!!

Relatable although you start feeling bad when the guest leave because you feel like you could have been nicer and so the next time the come you put up an ultra happy persona to compensate for last time.

But when you sit with the family all they do is speak in their native tongue which you don't understand, then you pick up a few words realize it's gossip about family members that aren't there. Then the argument starts to switch about inheritance (while both your grandparents are alive and well btw) and your aunts and uncle's have a full blown fight about who get's what in the language you do understand while your grandparents are staring at their children in pure confusing because they don't understand a thing that's going on.

They drink their tea resolve the issue until one of the other aunties leave and have a conversation about them.

All you wanted to do was to watch Netflix and call it a night. But you ended up a referee in some dispute about land in the middle of nowhere.

Fun times

Welcome to being a 2nd gen immigrant!
