My grandmother always calls me to see if I want to go to a movie or come over her house, both because she gets lonely and so am I. But sometimes I just can't take it - I need to be by myself. Plus it hurts being pittied by my family, you know? Because I have such a hard time making friends. My father can be the same way, only he is less understanding. He can't see why I can't "just relax" and spend time with his family. He doesn't get it - it's not relaxing. It's stressful to be away from home and putting on an act to make him happy. I also cannot stand his wife.
