Of course, people love him because they only ever see the fun loving side.
I remember my older niece's partner telling this story about his mother. She asked if she looked fat in a new top. He replied that actually, yes, she did. She then complained that she wanted him to say something nice. His response was why say something that isn't true, you asked my opinion and I gave it.  |
Yes I totally agree that family can be the biggest culprits! In fact, I am actually more open with my friends about stuff than family members. I don't trust them since all they do is judge. If something is bothering me, I don't tell them, instead, I make it look like I'm perfectly fine all the time. I'm more willing to share things with friends. I'm sorry you had to deal with that. Unfortunately, as much as people deny it, there is definitely favoritism among families. And yes, I agree that it's a good idea to stay away from anyone who may be about to cause drama.
