Is it bad that I am skipping Thanksgiving?
Here is the deal. I have had a very depressing two years and once again I am skipping out on my family and spending Thanksgiving alone. I have a sister who put a lot into the dinner but alas I can’t bring myself to be around people who are successful when I myself am now unemployed have no cell phone or no car.

Isolating yourself won't help you.

It's bad for YOU.
Cutting yourself off from those who care about you FUELS your depression.
You need the affection of your family, especially when you're going through rough times.
Unless you are certain that they will go out of their way to make you feel bad. If that's the case, then find some friends who have extra room at the table.
Realize that the economy is in bad shape and it's not YOUR fault that it crumbled.

Dont be a shallow Hal. Your family love you for who you are and not what you own.
Only you judge yourself, perhaps you should read about the Law of Attraction, it could help you find your balance.
Go to your Sisters, it would make her really happy,and who knows you just might have fun.

I mean, I think it is kind of pathetic. You are having a pity party and missing out on time with your family.
My life isn't so great, but I still love my family more than I hate myself. And it takes my mind off myself for a couple of days, right?
If you really can't bear it, then maybe this is the time to start going to therapy. But your family is supposed to love you unconditionally. So they aren't judging you. It sounds like you are judging you too much.

If you have nothing else, you have family and you should be with them and there for them. Ultimately, it's your decision to be there with them, but I think it would be the right one. Family doesn't judge. As long as you have the prospect if turning your life around, they'll stand with you and be more than proud and honored to help in any way they can. You can get back in touch and this is the perfect opportunity to do so. Good luck in all future endeavors.

properly, i think of you gotta do what you gotta do. in case you relatively cant face them, and you have made your determination, theres little need in beating your self up approximately it. your existence is tough sufficient already without you giving your self a complicated time for skipping out. yet.. i think of ideally in my opinion, it may be nicer in case you only went, family contributors get togethers shouldnt be approximately who's the main useful, it is going to easily be approximately spending time with family contributors and keeping in touch with our relationships and eating yummy nutrition. Do you relatively think of they are going to be judging you the full time? I dont understand them yet i could desire to think of that they could relatively only get to spend time with you, than have you ever pass out because of the fact you sense embarrassed or despite the fact that. they might get the incorrect concept too, like which you only dont like them, or dont care approximately them, etc. yet like I suggested, its truly as much as you. i think of getting at the same time for the holiday journeys with family contributors is crucial, yet I dont think of people could be compelled to bypass, or could party every time, the two.

I would quit feeling sorry about myself, and go to the family thanksgiving dinner. It may do you good, and help you forget your problems for a while.

you are feeling sorry for yourself because you have no car and no cell phone. thats sad really. your sister has put allot into it but you would rather sit at home and feel sorry for youself go and be with your family if for no other reason for their sakes
