are you ashamed of any of your family members? (1 Viewer)

[kodoku]

and if so, who and why?

Spoiler: me

I don't keep in touch with many relatives/family members of mine.....The reasons? I'm bad at social interactions in general, I also don't really have an interest in the people who let me fade away while only judging me, and they don't seem like my cup of tea anyway..... sadly, I resent my parents at times but one person I am ashamed of is my brother. What made me think of this is the fact that even my closest friend didn't know I even have a brother until recently, she was surprised to find out.. it's because I never mention him...........I'm not ashamed because he is ill or because he's failing at life. I'm ashamed because he isn't trying and he seems to be fine with being like this. It's unthinkable to me, a life far worse than death, and all his selfishness........ :/

My grandmother is so hateful towards so many groups of people, yet she thinks she's superior to everyone else and in the right. I don't like her frankly. I also don't like people I know meeting my parents because they can be quite mean. My friend met them and got shocked by them saying something mean to me so casually and that experience just pushed me away from wanting any of them to meet my parents.

My step mum, gran and dad. They just all come off as fake and really rude imo.

Oh my god my family is so embarrassing, they have the audacity to not be exactly like me, I mean???? Why

I have a lot of racist, homophobic, sexist, etc. family members so there's too many to count

 

[JJbaker]

my whole family tbh
there
a) lgbt phobic.. or
b) uses fact I'm bi to make them seem less phobic when there still rude as fuck

like telling everyone when I don't want you too doesn't make you accepting as you ain't accepting my wishes..

yes I'm out to a lot of people but not people I've never met in my life...

also I don't drink cause I don't see the point and my family legit judges me for it

like Yeh I look after my body and I'm the weird one.. when they struggle to not drink when they have work the next day

I’m ashamed of the abuse my father gave to my family and I

Not really I guess. I've been fortunate in that sense I suppose.

I don't think I am. Everyone moved on with their lives at their own pace and is doing what it good for them. I guess I am lucky in that sense.
[this is only about my mothers and grandmothers side of the family tho. don't have any contect with anyone from my fathers side and my grandpa did too much at this point that I could care less if people even bring him up]

At first I didn't want to write here, but I thought about it and I seen that there are some people who also mentioned their grandparents... Sadly I also feel a kind of shame towards my grandfather.
I mean that I don't like him and I think he is pathetic. What are the reasons behind this?
My grandfather is the most egoistic, the most arrogant and the most toxic person whom I know.
I can't explain it on a right way but I will try it... He thinks about himself that he is a very wise man who did great things in his whole life and he deserves unconditional respect , although he didn't do anything more than he wrote some ordinary and meaningless poems only. Indeed, these poems are also toxic because they says that my grandfather hates young people and everything what is modern ...
And to me the worst is that my grandfather is scornful towards his own only daughter and his grandchildren.
He never ever will admit our merits because we are useless in his eyes. And he tell this to us in a style which shows that he is a much better person than anybody around him.
Very possible that he was who ruined my self-confidence and turned me into a "mental wreck"...
