Annoying Ass family members
-
Family usually equates to drama, but it's where you'll gonna find support in tough times (from what i've seen not even 'best friends' are reliable in this aspect) so… i try to be 'diplomatic' with most relatives lol there's only a couple of them that i like or don't mind being around though, most are trouble.

My aunt is currently being annoying with me. She's a traditional Chinese woman; married my uncle via a Chinese matchmaker. Because I'm the last child in my generation who doesn't have a significant other, she's lately been trying to play matchmaker for me. I just politely look at the picture of girls she has whenever she visits and say no.
I haven't told any of my family that I have a tendency for male sex (I refuse to tag myself as gay) not because I'm afraid but because I find it isn't any of their business with regards to my sex life. That would obviously change if I find a significant other who happens to be a guy, but it's not their business until then.

My uncle has a swasika on his facebook page and talks about how the holocaust was just them spraying for rats he also complained about me being half black saying "I didnt ask for a black nephew"
Dude, that's awful. I hope you avoid him as much as possible.

Some of my relatives from across the world are annoying, but it's very few, since I don't see them that much. However, their FRIENDS are the real pains in the ass.

In my case, it is the in-laws that are causing the issues.
My siblings have the worst judgment of character seriously…

Holy fuck that sounds awful. You have my sympathies, brotha.

In the Philippines, family is such a big part of our culture that it gets hard to fend off those annoying family members at times HAHAHAHA they really pry too much into our personal lives, judging us on our lovelife and chosen careers. Being gay here in general is already a cause for family members to become more annoying than ever :blink:

My uncle killed my grandpa. I didn't particularly like either one. I had been feuding with that side of the family for 15 years.

@semurg30 While there are some harsh and surprising responses above, I have to give you the Annoying Ass Family award-to-date, and I appreciate the unvarnished way you presented it.
The best part is, they're gone -- and you're not. Cheers, indeed.

I look at it this way: if you had an annoying friend, an abusive boyfriend or spouse, someone with a severe personality disorder (who doesn't try to deal with it), someone who mentally/emotionally abuses you, who constantly belittles you, etc., I think there would be near-universal agreement that you should disengage, stop trying to be friends, divorce them, do what you need to do to protect yourself, both physically and emotionally.
So why should it be different just because it's a family member. Life is too short to put up that shit and you're just not going to be able to "fix" them or the situation. Set boundaries, disengage, even terminate all contact if that's what it takes. Your life will be significantly improved.
