Author Topic: example of why I distance myself from my family  (Read 602 times)

I get I'm a lucky kid to be able to live in such a good finical situation and to have food and shelter, but this incident is downright stupid.

whenever I get in these stupid altercations with my family I have one to talk to so I'm forums sorry you gotta take it.

so I get off work at 6 and normally my dad picks me up.

I get off at 6 and I call my dad, normally he is in the parking lot. He doesn't answer when I call him, so I call my sister, she doesn't answer, so I call my brother. my brother picks up and I tell him to hand the phone to dad. he says dad will call me back in a few minutes. no problem. then my sister calls me back because I called her.

Because my brother already talked to my dad I thought my sister wouldn't give a stuff as she never does when I need to be pickuped. so when I answer the phone I just say "nevermind" and hang up. I know, not the most descriptive thing, but all she had to do was call again if she wanted to know why I said nevermind. I thought she was out somewhere or at home.

Turns up she's waiting to pick me up. oh, a simple misunderstanding, I get it. I don't see a problem with it but my sister does.

she starts shouting on me because my "spoiled ass" told her 'nevermind' and how dare I call her with such a vague response. it's not like she can call me a again to see why I said nevermind, like what a inhumane thing to make someone call me again to clarify my 'nevermind'.

When she raised her voice, I tried explaining all this to her and why is she getting angry over nothing. when she found out that she was swearing at me over a misunderstanding, she became even more angry. she said then that she was shouting at me because of my attitude, and how I think everyone owes me everything.

The irony of this all was she was calling me a narcissist while it can just easily show through her words how she is one. she doesn't do chores and leaves passive aggressive comments on me whenever she can. she seems to have this belief of some sort that she's holding the family together or something.

my guess why she overreacted: she's on her period

 


if you literally just said "nevermind" and then hung up straight away that's pretty rude of you

it's good for me to take insight on this.

I get this is super rude but I apologised in the car before she blew up

I thought she wouldn't care when I said nevermind because normally if I ask her to pick me up or even call her in general she doesn't want to talk.

How about next time she tells me saying nevermind and hanging up is super rude instead of calling me slurs

In my IRL dealings I don't find it very productive to focus on how the other person should have reacted in a situation like this. You can't really control that, and it'll only frustrate you trying to. Focus instead on yourself and often the result will be better anyway.

If she is on her period then it's best to not take it personally anyway because it can really influence their behaviour.

ya I just needed a place to vent ya kno

noticing a new trend where socially awkward blf users post stories of themselves saying something really rude to someone then come here to bitch when that person gets angry

u were rude but she overreacted
