[quote=Anonymous]She isn’t “standoffish”: she doesn’t want anything to do with you at all. Leave her alone. I was your niece. The entire family refused to acknowledge that my creepy uncle said wildly inappropriate (sexual jokes, comments about my body, speculation about my relationship status, etc) things, often after he’d had a few beers at family dinners/events. He did this to one other niece, but she lived across the country. The creepy uncle’s wife, my aunt, is a determinedly optimistic, blinkered woman who refused to see or acknowledge and my parents were the same. So my aunt would probably have described me as “standoffish.” Are you sure there is nothing about your family dynamic or an individual family member that is triggering her? She isn’t reacting in such an emphatic way for no reason, you know.[/quote]
