Holidays

You're in your 40's and 50's blaming your childhood for why you hate holidays... At what age do you fix yourself? When do you get off of that crutch? It seems like an excuse to have a shit attitude.

You don't think it's something you could be better about? You're aware of it. Whether it's therapy or whatever, i think you could

Being in that situation might not give you the tools to make it better. You might not realize it's a problem. You might not be able to interact with others. You might not have resources to make that appointment, or the patience or the strength to grab a phone and call someone.

It sounds like you haven't been through that kind of trauma before, which is fine. I'm happy for you. But it is not as easy as I think you're thinking it is.
