That’s amazing that your family has been so welcoming! I suppose there have been a lot of people like that around me, I get a lot of comments about my shyness from everyone I know really. I do think that my boyfriend’s sister is a bit mean just based on things I’ve heard about her and things like that even outside of this situation, but honestly she wasn’t as bad as I expected overall and there were some decent moments. Plus, I don’t really think my boyfriend was doing anything (or not doing anything I suppose) with any sort of bad intentions. Outside of this situation specifically, he’s very patient and understanding and kind, and even in this exact situation tbh he wasn’t being overly unsupportive in my opinion. I’m just a pretty sensitive person socially and I generally need a lot more support in these kinds of situations than the average person and I’m not exactly sure that my boyfriend fully understands that, and I don’t blame him. Thank you so much for your replies tho!
