My mom wants to take me to the family bbq tomorrow but I am really stressed and anxious about it for COVID reasons. But if I say no then I feel like I’m letting her down and I don’t want my family thinking I’m rejecting them or too good for them.
But also if I go I’m going to be antsy the whole time. And if I wear a mask I know they’ll make fun of me (that’s just what they do). Plus masks are hard to socialize in. I want to see my fam but I’m just terrified of spreading it unknowingly.
On top of that, my uncle is a trapper and my fam are big meat people and I’m just not about that life. So if I show up with my mask and my soy dogs, will they think I’m trying to act better than them? I don’t want them to think I’m condescending or anything.

Your lefty snowflake cousin (also a cancer)
