[quote=Anonymous]This weekend most of one side of my family is getting together for an informal family reunion and I am dreading it. They are a very narcissistic group of people-very status oriented and into name dropping, bragging, are obsessed with social media, etc. My husband, son and I are low key and really don't connect with the vast majority of family members. I don't have personal "beefs" with any of them-I just don't have much in common. However, they get under my skin and I end up allowing myself to feel badly because I don't feel like I fit in with them, they have more money than we do, etc. I feel ridiculous that I get so bothered by it. For various reasons, we have to go-I can't bow out. Any suggestions as to how to cope effectively and not let people get to me? I really don't want to be irritated or self flagellating the whole time? [/quote]
