I'm a young guy and have kind of grown away from my family the past few years, but especially this past year. I didn't go to my hometown for thanksgiving and felt I made the right choice, but I felt like I needed to come for Christmas. I've been around my family all day, and I just don't feel like I fit in at all. I've barely said anything to anyone, and no one has really said much to me. We have totally opposite views on life and how to live it, and I'm the odd ball out... I don't know, I guess I feel like I'm just tolerating the holiday and going through the motions but not actually enjoying it at all, and I don't think my family is having any better time than if I wasn't here.
Anyone been there? I don't know what I'm looking for. Advice? Stories? Empathy?
