Today, i got in a fight with a family member. this person is known as the family gossip, he always talks crap about everyone, and lies, but people forgive him because he can be so charming and nice when he wants to be. I gave him a Christmas greeting card that i made of my cat, Kitty.
And he tells me i should use my time finding a man and having kids instead of giving the time and attention i give to my cat. it pisses me off because this guy lives in another country from his own kids, has never been financially responsible for them, and one time he lost his job and depended on his family to pay everything for him, and get him a car, even after he found work he was living free with relatives and talking crap about the people taking care of him.
he says he wants to "help" me. i dont need people reminding me that i am alone. i have a lot of self esteem issues, and tend to worry too much about what people say to me. i told him to butt out and find himself a woman and to leave me alone, and if he couldnt to not come around.
i can tell he looks down on me for loving my cat so much. to be honest, i dont even know if i want kids. ive been stuck having to help raising my neices and nephews, and it is not an easy job. i cant imagine needing to be a parent 24/7. but anyway, ive noticed this is a common thing people tend to look down on people that have pets and give them love, but at the same time dont have a partner.
how can i learn to ignore these people?
