Being around my siblings’ families is difficult

[Markness]

I had to be around both of my siblings’ families yesterday evening. It wasn’t easy for many reasons. Both of my siblings are constantly in the social spotlight while I am not and we don’t share much in common so I feel like there isn’t much we can talk about. My second youngest nephew is also a handful and will scream constantly.

I also feel like the odd person because I don’t have a girlfriend/wife and children of my own. I can’t fully join in because of that.

That can be difficult. I really was the odd one out in my family too. It didn't help matters that I was a only child originally. It created some jealousy, among other things. >.>

I'd not worry too much about 'society dictates it, therefore it must be done' kinda mantras and expectations. Because those only serve NTs, not us.

Things will fall in line as you better yourself. I have faith you'll find someone. But you need to continue having faith in yourself.

Do things how YOU would like them to be done. Find your own way. It's as simple as that.

On a random as heck side note. When I typed "It's as simple as that". I was trying my dang best to not type, "It's as shrimple as that".

My goofy butt dang near losing it in laughter, thinking about the Russian Badger video that comes from.

Love yourself, then others will follow.

We could be single bros, without relationship baggage or responsibilities.

But if you really want a relationship, learn to love yourself first because you are worth it.
