Idk if you have any advice but idk who to ask really... but family anything makes me anxious. My own family I don't want to be around, I moved far away from them to avoid them. I'm in a serious relationship now and my boyfriend's family kinda just expects me to be at family stuff, and sometimes I feel really anxious about it, because... Idk, families make me want to run away screaming cuz they take away my choices with family obligations and stuff. But I know I have to learn to deal with it...

I’m not the best person to give advice on this subject but I would say that open communication is key in any kind of relationship. Even if you do not divulge the details you can still say how anxious you are. The other advice I would give is maybe developing a mantra, “I am choosing to go/not go to this person’s house. I can make my own decisions.” Give yourself your own power back. I hope that, whatever you choose, it brings you happiness.
