That seems like an easy solution but so ridiculous for a temporary problem. There will be a whole lot more that will make getting through the drudgery of life worth it. You are craving more independence in how you spend your time. Use that as energy to take steps to make money, live on a budget, move away or if you want to stay at home tell your mom you're scheduled to work, volunteering, studying hard... I can see why she would want you to meet your family though. You are building it up to be a huge bother but the more you meet people and make polite conversation, the easier life will be. You may make a nice connection, opportunity or gain insight. My mom is very similar but it's not just family, it's friends and neighbors who she will want me to meet any given holiday if I plan to visit her. It's annoying and sometimes I say "not this time please" but I've also had some amazing connections with people I didn't want to meet. I've learned recipes from women who've pulled me into the kitchen to teach me something quick I still make for my kids years later and stories about relatives I have that are invaluable. While stepping out is the easy option and I can see you have your eye on the easiest solutions. Challenge yourself to relax, have a good attitude and see if you can make it through and have a better time than you expected. Don't catastrophize meeting family. Study their faces, outlooks, attitudes and make connections where you can, it really will help you mature.[/quote]
