So-so relationship with parents

>>17986644
I love my parents but they have their own life and i have mine. When they need me they call me and they know that is a two way street. Conversations with them are rarely long or deep because we are all interested in different things, its still ok we all know that there is love and appreciation.

I'm a bit older than you. I see mine about twice a year because they live a few hours away.

Similar situation. I find it best if there is something to do. I took dad to see some vintage machinery show and that went well.

Its always harder with mom. That probably says a lot about why I am foreveralone women wise.

>will simply nod and fake interest in a very obvious way, while I

>know very well she has absolutely no clue what I'm talking about.

great thing about being a grand autismo is that this never occurs to you. just keep rambling long past when everyone else has lost interest.

anyway, op, that doesn't sound like such a bad situation.

but that does kind of suck. my parents can hold a decent conversation.

You don't have direct contact with your parents often which is ok, but it just seems like your connections have died off.

If your bio of your parents, it just appears that you point out their annoyances rather than the contents of what you talk about. If you look at it from their perspective (especially your Dad's), it just appears you once held similar hobbies and interests as a child and those connections died once you became an adult. It is alright for your interests to change, and it is okay to expect your parents to be understanding, but you can't just sit here and complain that family time is "awkward" when you haven't shown to us that you make an effort to talk to them about your interests.

Your Mom loves you and will listen: as long as you're not annoying about it. Your comment about her being blue pilled shows that you talk to her about politics / social ideas. Here's a tip: don't talk to your parents about politics / social issues unless they bring it up first. Talk about hobbies that you are pursuing, potential dates, funny work stories, MEMORIES OF THE PAST. They're your parents, they care about you but they want to be reminded that their child is succeeding. They don't want to hear about topics that aren't about you or someone close to you

Also, just to add to my comment: try and do things with your parents. I think your conversations are awkward because your old connections / shared hobbies died off with your parents and you have little connections left with them. You should try and build more connections.

Talking to them about your current life / past memories and avoiding stuff like politics is one way to build connections, but another is to do stuff with them. Take them somewhere, do something with them. Activities like that help connections, as it gives you new experiences to talk to them about in the future.

Just... don't talk about politics unless they ask you. Yes, it is sad that they're blue pilled but you should be able to refrain from talking about politics, especially to your parents. Talking about politics to your parents just makes you seem bitter and resentful.
