I always look forward to Christmas and seem peppy about getting home for the holiday, but once I’m here, I’m so angry most of the time. I hide in my old room and my family ask me the most annoying questions through the door. I try to keep my cool at first, but it’s like they don’t get that I want to be left alone. I begin to yell because I’m so frustrated.

Also, even when they know I’m in solitary mode, they ask me to do stupid things like “come help us clip the cat’s nails” or “give me the dirty dishes from last night from your room.” I know these are petty things, but when I’m in a certain mood, they make my mood even more sour, almost to the point of not leaving my room the whole day.

I can also hear them downstairs making comments about me.  

Soon, my relatives will be arriving and then I’m expected to come out and act friendly and social. I just wish everyone would understand that sometimes you have to give a person space when they need it. 

Just needed to vent..
