Sorry for the rant. TL;DR at bottom.
(I am 18M)
About a month ago, my dad was planning vacation stuff for us and one of the things involved visiting his cousin.
I agreed on the basis that I should probably just be out for and that I don’t like to disappoint people (I guess I’m sort of a pushover). But I can probably count the number of times I met his cousin on one hand. (We live in the US and our family is scattered about the states)
They mean no more to me than some stranger at a bus stop.
Anyway, the point of this is, a friend of ours invited me and my brother to a party during one of the dates we’d be out of state, meaning if I had a choice, I could do only one or the other.
Tbh, I kinda want to go to the party more than I want to be with his family since, as I said before, I hardly know her, and I really don’t think I’d be doing anything worthwhile. Just the same things I normally do, just in a different setting.
But I don’t want to be a dick by changing my mind since I already agreed to go I guess. I know I’m an adult and I don’t have to do what my parents say (to a reasonable degree of course since I live under their roofs), but I don’t want to hurt his feelings.
If you got this far, sorry for my whining.
TL;DR Visiting family that I have no emotional connection to later this month and was invited to hang out with friends/at a party during the time I’d be gone.
