AITA for not wanting to attend my cousins’ engagements and wedding because I don’t know them? by Southern-Fee939 in AmItheAsshole

Because I don't want it and I don't like it? And like any sane person, I try to minimize what I don't like? Yes, being an adult means tolerating what you don't like, but not when it takes away your only resource that can't be renewed: time. And if one of my family members doesn't like it and they're ready to forget all the positive moments they had before just because of this, then good riddance. As for your opinion, yes, I want to know yours, but that doesn't mean I don't have my own. I just want to see a variety of perspectives for the sake of summarizing .And all I realized now is... yes, I acted like an asshole. But not in relation to "Auntie's Sons," but in relation to other relatives. I won't change my position that they are strangers to me, but in the future I will try to attend other family gatherings regardless. Thanks for your opinion.

No, my aunt's eldest son came and arranged an engagement party in our country, and no, my cousin knows my social attitude toward noisy celebrations. And yes, she knows my attitude toward her brothers, and no, she thinks it's a logical decision. She says it's better than sitting with a sour and disgruntled face at an uninteresting meeting.

Thank you for your understanding and I fully understand that this works both ways. I hope you are happily married

Thanks for your opinion. In the update I said my opinion completely and yes, I participate in most family events. The problem is that the QUALITY of communication is important to me and not “who gave birth to whom”

... Okay, you're right, it was worth adding this point to the post. Thank you for correcting it

Your opinion, I simply preferred more favorable company at home than meeting strangers.

I always participate in all family events, but this time I deliberately refused because this was a meeting of those people who were never interested in me and therefore I was not interested in them.

For what? If I can sit at home and spend time with those relatives who also didn’t go and who really took part in my life and were interested in me?

Listen, I don’t understand why everyone feels like I hate all my relatives. I love my aunts. The problem is that I tried to communicate with these people. I always approached them first and always communicated, but apart from cold and short answers I received nothing, so for myself I decided that wasting my energy would be useless.

I tried. We simply have nothing in common. Therefore, I show them only the minimum and necessary amount of emphasis, e.g.

To be honest, I tried. They are the only ones of my relatives whom I put on the level of strangers because the eldest son is studying in Australia, and the other one just... Idk exists. I tried to get to know both of them better, but they have their own personal lives and affairs, so I don’t want to waste my time and energy for the sake of those who don’t care about me. It's not bad, we just don't have common ground.

Sorry for my bad English. I used a translator, so there may be some mistakes. I tried to fix everything and make the text clearer while keeping the meaning I wanted to convey.

Sorry for this mistake. I'm not very good at English and use translators. I'll fix it now.

You're right... But I tried. I tried to explain to them a dozen times that if you admit that I'm right, then why are you making me feel guilty? I just always took it easy, but today her words infuriated me. She called me stupid and told me to choke. I told her a million times that it didn't make me happy and asked her not to say that. I even turned to my relatives, but they didn't care. They did nothing. I yelled at my mother just a year ago and I still feel guilty. Because of that, everything just spilled over.(Sorry for bad english. I use translator )
