Are you close with your relatives?

I feel close to some of them, not all of them. And they are relatives i haven`t heard for quite long time! I started contacting my cross cousin after Eid Day 2 years ago. SHe`s at my age and already a single mom, i met her again in 2008 after our last meeting in 1997. (she is relative from my mother`s side) I am also comfortable with my cousin who lives in Sydney, and our first contact was from..Facebook. then we text, sometimes he calls me, or we chat on FB. Our last meeting was in 2005,in a relative`s wedding. He is my cousin from my father`s side.His dad is my uncle and they have been living in Sydney for almost 30 years!

I am not either... I just have the funny feeling that they're not genuine. It's like they talk behind your back. And they keep on telling stories how great and successful so and so is. Just like telling me that I'm no good to their standards. I honestly don't want to compete with anyone of them. I just hope they stop putting me down.. I also have my own life to live, and I don't meddle with theirs. So, sometimes I think to myself that I have no more relatives. Because they don't make me feel like I'm a relative too. So, to each his own...

extraordinary, friend ... You've tried to live as being anti-social

I feel comfortable with friends, relatives, any one. You don't like to be with them than it is okay. You better do what you like. But some times by chances if you have to be with them also due to some social function or wedding or some thing else I suggest to try to be normal. That will be in you benefit only. If you annoy, it will be not bad for you only. So don't let anything bad to you. I hope you understood what I wrote!!!!!!!!
