I feel kind of anxious about christmas. I'm 22 and I've gotten used to always spending christmas with my family, but this year it's different.
My mother is going to place A with her new partner, my sister is spending her holidays with her boyfriend, my grandparents want to spend christmas by themselves (understandable, we spend christmas with them pretty much every year), my aunt said we could spend christmas together, but if I want to do something else then she'll go spend it with her boyfriend and his parents.
That's where the problem comes in. I'd gladly spend christmas alone, to me it's just a day as the others. It's not the day that makes it special, it's the people. So I kind of want my aunt to spend christmas with her boyfriend, but then I should tell her "Yeah go with him, I'll just do whatever" and knowing my family that's not acceptable.
I don't want to be a restriction for them, but I don't know how to tell that to them because I don't think they'd like the idea of me spending christmas alone in my home (even though I'm completely fine with that)
Wat do

are you a guy or a girl
>>17848629
not sure why it would matter but I'm male yes
>>>/soc/
maybe you can hook up with someone for a pityfuck
>>17848639
I'm not looking for pity, I'm looking for outside opinions on how to defuse this situation
>>17848644
tell them you go on a date (you should consider it for real) or that you will have a girl coming over
>>17848649
I don't like lying and in my situation that would never work, only backfire hard.
Just posting here actually helped me, I realized I could go see my father (at first this wasn't an option for me because I didn't even think about it, I'm not used to spending holidays with him (parents broke up and he was kind of left hanging(he has alzheimers)))
I'll probably do that, everyone wins. He gets company and I don't need to think about this anymore.
Thanks :D
