This time of year is honestly one of the more annoying times of the year for me. Seeing my large extended family tends to really set off my social anxiety. Also, their attitudes towards being very materialistic really just turn me off. Also, the near constant questioning as to why I am single becomes a freaking irritation. Basically, it's like they do every thing they can to cause anger and hostility in me.
And then the nauseating posts from FB or twitter pour in as well and I have to hear how great everyone else's families are and blah blah. I know this is a very common time of year for severe depression for a lot of people. I honestly feel depressed and worn out at this point. I am pretty well tired of everything at this point and really hoping that next year will be better than this year has been.
So here is a picture of grumpy cat to hopefully make the day better:

I know we're both guys, but *manhugs* to you. I've come to a Zen-like appreciation for my current singleness ever since I broke my dating fast, but I still know where you're coming from there. And family can be bad with that stuff sometimes. I used to get the 'when are you gonna have kids' question, which I responded to with 'when I am finished digesting the previous ones'. Humor can be a lifesaver in some circumstances.
