Not a fan of the holidays because it means I have to hang out with family.
I've always been the black sheep of the family and the disparity only grows wider as time passes.

OK Ebenezer, you'll be getting 3 visits tonight
😂
It will be a welcome distraction!
Same. This makes me feel a little less isolated.
I tell myself I do it for them not me
Cheer up, it can't be as bad as being raided by the FBI
Perspective is key.
Hear that JL 🫂
Merry Christmas mate. You'll survive and you might enjoy it this year 🇬🇧🚒😎
Chances are good some of those feds are cooler people than a lot of family. We feel you. The Nostr family will support you through these trying times.
I think all of us here are the black sheep of our family lol
You'll miss them if you didn't have them around. Trust me.
Going on vacation during this season and avoiding certain family members did wonders for mental health
Merry Christmas, black sheep! 🫂
The burden of the outlier.. the tail of the curve.
Same!

Agree💯 and I think that’s why we spend our time on #Bitcoin and #Nostr. ⚡️🧡💜
During boring conversations, you can hang out with your other family over here on NOSTR 🎄
step up.
be the patriarch.
Cheer up Jameson, maybe try to understand their perspective more no matter how dumb or boring you might think it is.
Normal
I am as well but enjoy being one. I have an aunt that we don't agree on a lot but we enjoy being the outliers and get a kick out of it at holidays
Merry Christmas regardless though good sir
Merry Christmas bro. Grin and bear it, do it for them and not yourself.
I only became the black sheep after finding bitcoin. Thank god.
Rather be the black sheep then the only sheep brother.
Count it as a blessing.
Just be present. Don’t stress it too much.
Just chill.
lol... you don't really have to say much... just hold your head high and sit there and smile! They all know. Then if any one actually shows curiosity, you can share with them how to get on board the train. Merry Christmas!
Forgive them, for they know not what they do.
how different are you? Who are you closest to?
I know how you feel, but we are your Bitcoin family too!
The black sheep have more fun
I felt this hard!
For me It’s a weird life to be a black sheep of sorts for political and social reasons, but also be the only married household with children. So everyone wants to visit but also incessantly complain. 🤷🤷
just a reminder that your family can read this
Nostr, the social media platform full of "black sheep". Merry Christmas.
Hang out with the kids, they are less judgemental.
Xmas is usually overloaded with expectations
thus real peace of mind is hardly to be achieved
I'm sorry to hear that, but you have us as family too. Hopefully we can treat you better as time goes on. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
My solution to that problem: I just made my own family 💪 wife + many kids ftw
Do you really “HAVE TO”
We’ve been staying in these past several holidays because it’s just much more peaceful that way. Still spend enough time so that death doesn’t cause any guilt but separate where I have peace of mind.
I feel you though brother it’s tough.

Join the club.
You know, this makes me think about the history of the US. I would say the Renaissance writers and "founding fathers" were the tail end of the curve when we think about all the nations of the earth and the histories we know of.. there was a tiny population which made the way for a nation that's still relatively small (in population) compared to other large counties, based in the most radical ideas of individual liberty since roaming nomads. This is a little closer to American exceptionalism than I would typically like, since I'm an individualist, but I have to acknowledge that those who are exceptional seem to be drawn together, and form exceptional groups to do exceptional things. I would say that the US has done this, specifically in the enormous context of all known human history. But, I do feel blessed to come from that tail end, rather than the middle of the curve where we find the most population in Asia. But there are exceptional populations in Asia too (like siamstr).
Anyway, old guy rembling here...
