We will never know how to tag a family gathering. Is it exciting or devastating? It can be any, we cannot conclude based on the previous one. Our aunties and uncles change and our cousins might become either boring or successful. So the following are a few common types of people you can find in any family gathering.
1. The curious aunt:
She needs to know everything regarding you, right from your daily routine to your resume. You should be almost prepared for an informal interview if she is gonna show up at the gathering. She can ruin your time if you sit next to her for a few minutes. Some irritable questions include, “when are you going to marry?”, “how much do you earn per month?”, “where did you get this dress from?”, etc. The last question came out because she liked your dress and she’s definitely gonna catch that store and buy the same piece for her daughter.
2. The silent cousin:
We never know the reason for their silence. We don’t even know whether the silence is exclusively for the party or it is natural. All the aunties and uncles probably do not like this silent kid due to his fewer interaction skills.
3. The uncomfortable-small-talk uncle:
Out of nowhere your mom comes and introduces you to some unknown uncle and what do you do? It will be awful if you go away so the only option left is to start a conversation. Then starts your awkward and uncomfortable small talk. Somehow you have to get along with this.
4. The show-off aunt:
Presenting another aunt for you. No offense, they definitely deserve this attention. You should be a pretty good listener and the best tolerant person in the world if caught by her. She is gonna take you on a small verbal tour about the good and expensive changes that took place in their house. Yes, only good ones no room for bad ones. The main reason she picked you is that she thinks the changes in all her possessions are way better than how your possessions are. If her daughter or son is doing better than you, some unexpected problems might reside with you.
5. The cool cousin:
Your calm over this chaos and your only ray of hope. This cousin will be your dance partner and also the crime partner in discussing possible ways to sneak out. One person like this is enough to survive a family gathering.
