Right now, the holidays are approaching. So this is when the uncomfortable questions come. They are: "what will you be doing this Thanksgiving/Christmas? Do you have family? Do you at least have some friends to spend the holidays with?" This happens at work.

I really do not like being asked those questions. Because I have no one to spend the holidays with. And it's been like that for a good long time. I hate to just lie and say, "I'm going to be with family and friends" when it's not true. I can't lie with a straight face.

When I tell them the truth, they act like they are about to cry. Well, I don't blame them! But I wish that they would have something comforting to say. It would be even better if someone else would be in the same position as I am. It's very annoying when they talk about how much they are looking forward to having a great time with family.

Anyone else feel the same way?
