If my family weren’t my family, they wouldn’t talk to me…
That’s what I would say too. I love my family and they love me, but I think had we not been related they wouldn’t choose to be around me. They are rather boring people and their favorite thing to do is sit at home and do nothing. I like to do stuff and try new things. They don’t.
Spot on.
They are my family and I don’t talk to them, because BPD destroys relationships.
Yeah definitely they are cool human beings
Some I would definitely talk to regularly, some I already don’t talk to even though they are family.
Hell yeah. My family is weird and fun.
I play in a weekly D&D game with my dad, aunt, uncle, and cousin’s husband. We all have weird craft habits.
Then I married into a massive family of very decent people. My brother in law adopted three sons before having two of his own. Several of the extended family teach or taught in public schools.
Then there’s my extended family of cool people, friends I’ve curated over decades, most of whom have met my actual biological family.
Takes a lot before I give up on family!
This is awesome. I’m glad you lucked out like that.
Extremely lucky, especially given I’m kind of a hermit.
I read all about the epidemic of loneliness and wonder how I didn’t fall into that trap.

I barely talk to them now.
Exactly. I have cut them all off because they are emotionally unhealthy for me.
Not a chance
No.
We’re like the random other adults you interact with sometimes, because you live near them or something. We get along when we have to talk. If it wasn’t for holidays each year we never would.
One of them, but none of the rest.
No and I’m already to that point.
It’s just my two older brothers that are left. One is a narcissist and not worth my time. The other is a rabid Gravy SEAL who would rather have Kyle Shittenhouse as his brother than me.
It’s not just politics that separates me from them, there is a lot of family history of disrespect and attempted abuse.
There are better members of my family, and there are worse. I’d keep relations only with people who deserve it.
Yes, or at least the ones I actually talk to.
They’re fine people, but we don’t really share any interests. I’d be unlikely I’d ever meet them.
I’d talk to my brother 100%
