I like and am attached to so many people. When I was little , that was enough. I now choose to be with people I share the same values with. Not all same , just few core same values. They are pretty basic to me but from the society I come from , I understand how they can be viewed so differently because they indeed are. I have three cousins I live with as in the same house. We used to play everyday when little and often when studies got in the way. Things happened with my life I won't get into and that sort of distanced us but we were still close. I don't hate them. I think I like them infact. Few months ago , their mom , my aunt said something about my clothing which I didn't like. I decided to just cut them off from then. I know it's not them and I don't like when people judge people by their parents because that's not just how it goes , I mean I don't believe it. You can be different from your parents. But yk , I think they will support their mom over me and yea I do think we have different values. So it saddens me and gives me pain when we cross paths. There are other relatives too like that. I can be honest with my former friends and I am when I end things , I am honest about reasons ( if they would want to know ). With relatives , I just don't trust them. If I tell them , they will make fun of me or invalidate or say I " overthink " or is influenced by West and social media and the list goes on.
I want to be honest with this eldest cousin. The thing is , I am not sure. I don't trust her either , she might tell my aunt ( if not herself then my aunt might force her to tell her ) and then again my aunt will talk about it , the whole house knows and I do not want my family to know about my values or anything about my life to be honest. I don't trust them , they are toxic , abusive. It's for my own safety. So , basically it sucks. I was a huge believer that love is enough. That's all we need , if I love you why can't I be with you ? Well , because we need more things along with love to work it out.
A part of me still believes or like to think , one day I will be honest. One day I will tell the reasons to all the people I have ghosted literally or metaphorically and maybe just maybe one day they will understand.
