Why is it so draining and hard to act normal and mirror normal

Because you are acting normal and mirroring their behaviour instead of acting as you naturally do.

But if I act naturally people get pissed off at me and don't like me.

I find that have to become a completely different person and walk on egg shells around everyone in order to avoid pissing them off.

Such is life. You're a natural cunt and there's not much you can do about that without messing with your brains.

Most people can tell if you're trying to 'act normal'. you've just got to stop giving a fuck desu

How can I stop being quiet and keeping to myself at family gatherings?

Eveyone just talks about their jobs and relationships and I have neither so I can never talk about anything.
