I am in this ultimately awkward position

I am staying in my boyfriend's home with his sister.
In about 10 days I am moving to another country.
In a few days I will be moving to an annex for few days.
My home is rented on Airbnb.
I made this awful scene, a depressive episode in front of him and his sister.
And for a couple of days I will need to be around.
I am being most of the day outside the house as I am avoiding them.
It's awkward and I don't feel so welcome at the moment.
I just arrived, I was staying on a bench for hours and they're not even home. I remember they were saying they'd go to a play or a concert. I know I shouldn't dwell in this thinking but there's this yelling voice saying "they're having fun finally without the sickening me"
I need to rest, it's challenging.

I know what you feel. If I were you, I would get all the courage I need to apologize and explain why I acted the way I did. Once everything is out in the open, it gets easier and maybe they would understand you more.

@Menetics the whole situation is complex, but no worries, no need to take back anything. It helps me to put things in perspective, answering whether should I apologize or not. His sister is in this mood "you ruined our day" so just this mood makes me not feeling like apologizing. Uh anyways ... truly what triggered me was yesterday it was my birthday and I felt as a burden instead of feeling celebrated.
I wish I wouldn't decide to spend my time with someone who doesn't really value my presence...

@being Belated Happy Birthday! I’m you had to go through this on your birthday. I hope everything will be sorted out soon before you leave. I wish you all the best.

it's not yo7u. it is what you feel. these things often make no sense and our minds choose to make a patter where there is none.
hang tight, drink some water, eat something. Breath

@Dshhh thank you, I'll hang tight and days will pass by....

I don't know what to say...... I've been in that position too.... Just know it will pass. You will heal. You will be in a better place... For now try to focus on your surroundings instead of what's in your head. With a lot of ups and downs I've realized that our brains lie to us A LOT. LIKE A WHOLE LOTTTT. Especially when we're at our lowest. So fck that bich and look at the beautiful skyline and listen to the birds and watch the greens and feel the breeze.
Maybe bring your bf and his sister some cookies or fix them a meal, to start fresh and break the ice.

@assemblingaknob will try to focus outwards. I would love to be in the position to do that, break the ice, but it feels so pretentious at the moment.. it's an ego thing. He knows I am in this shitty place but he's unable to help. And I don't want to. But reading it, i realized that'd be nice

@being Pretentious maybe but also diplomatic...it helps appease the anxiety around the situation and says "sorry" without actually saying sorry and builds a positive impression in their heads to counter any previous negative thoughts. It's just being proactive, not a bad thing really.

I don't think they're having fun, probably just distracting themselves from this situation. I hope you're okay, such episodes are hard to deal with but it's not your fault.

@HannibalAteMeOut I'm not sure anymore whose fault is it and if it's not mine. .. but thank you, just acknowledging.. 🖤
HannibalAteMeOut · 22-25, F
@being it's not, but in the future you might learn how to handle this in another way. But if right now that's all you have, nobody can blame you. It would be different if you had your own personal space for sure.
being · 36-40, F
@HannibalAteMeOut yes, you're right..I need to give myself a break, I'm too stressed 🥴

Whenever you come back from outside, bring something to eat for all, and try to talk and mix-up with them.

@being You are what you are, and will be. But the world we live in works as a society. And sometimes we have to adjust ourselves as per the people we live with. It will definitely seem uncomfortable to you. But you have to take it as a challenge. No, it will not change who you are. Just getting dynamic as per the scenario is challenging, but we can just give it a try. We may not do well, giving it a try would be ok.

The behavior that you have observed afterwards maybe because of your previous lack of involvement. When we try to make/maintain a relationship, we need to ignore many things, few things we have to assume in positive way, and also need to initiate many things from our side. Like when he left you both at the beach restaurant, maybe he did it intentionally to give you both time and space so that you develops a relation as you both have to live in the same house for some time. For the gift you can think it of like she was not aware of your taste and just wanted to be sure that you likes it.

I can understand trying to change how you interact with others is very very challenging. But we can just put our effort what we can do, so that we would not feel bad that we even didn't tried. You can share with her that you are introvert, ask sorry for your inability to interact properly, and at the same time try to start conversation.

All the best !!

@ABCDEF7 thank you, time helped with the perspective... and your text I completely get it now. I am more at ease and knowing myself even better.. But I had an intense crisis. Totally unexpected 🤪

@Lilnonames I am failing and I am allowing it to happen. My boyfriend watched me fall and he went to party yesterday. I mean good for him. I don't know what the fuck am I expecting. We're about to break up because I am leaving. It could be more 'adult' you know... but it seems I cannot. He cannot. we.
