[quote=Anonymous]I am a well-known introvert in my family. I've never been social, always prone to panic attacks whenever in large social situations, but in the last 5 years the situation have gotten worse. It helps that I can work from home. However, I can't be in family functions, either with my family or DH family. They know about my agoraphobia or whatever you want to call it but still get offended that I don't want to be "with the group of people who love you." I can only be with them in a structured, one on one situation, for a few hours, not days, let alone weeks. For the past 5 years, DH would take the kids and visit his parents. I thought everyone was fine with the situation but this weekend MIL had a fit of some sort and yelled at DH about me being selfish. No, I can't tolerate her, SILs, and the entire fucking Brady bunch for 3-4 days. No, I don't want to go to the beach with them. I don't do that with my family either, so why is she so offended?[/quote]
