I, 21F, have recently been thinking of leaving my family behind. This all started when I realised that somethings don’t sit well with me.
Both of my siblings have kids. They keep asking when I’m going to have one but, I’m very career and college focused. Alongside that, my brother comes off very condescending to me. One time, asking what I would know about high priced items when I’ve never left my small town. And my sister has recently started to pick up interests that she used to make fun of me for. Subsequently, I left many of those interests behind because of it. Also, it seems like my relationship with my father is becoming strained as I have tried less and less to keep up with him because every call is the same monotone voice and small convo. Then when I bring up something I’m into, it’s just “oh yeah. Nice.”
My mother and I have never been close, she is a narcissist. The only relationships that I potentially see keeping are my grandparents.
I’m just tired of feeling like I’m looked down upon in my own family or that my interests aren’t worth talking about but, I gladly listen to theirs.
