I'm in my mid twenties. I never synced well with family and relatives. I instinctivly knew as a kid that these people were a bunch of BS. From very early on relatives would tell me how i was going to have a wife and kids someday and that i had to be more accommodating with people. I used to tell them that in life marriage is no necessity for me and boy was i getting attacked from all sides which i was always shocked by - They gave me to understand something was fishy about this, even though the opposite was intended. I learned to just shut my trap eventually. Besides the usual stuff you guys heard a million times my parents would tell me how i should get along with them now, since i would long for them when i grew older. They were wrong (as with alot of other stuff) - I hated family life and i hated the unnecessary drama (mother is a control-freak and used to be abusive as shit in her younger years). I went to military for 2 years after high school and even though i usually lived with 4-8 guys in a room it was a BIG improvement for me and my sanity. Now i have been in college for 3 years in my room and i can guaran-fucking-tee you, i will never going to live with somebody else, as long as my hands and feet work.
