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.

    2nd person obviously did not read the question. Anyways, you may need to stay with your parents then if you don't have a job, car, or even a phone. :/ You are just going to go in a lot of debt. Let your family help, they obviously care especially your sister if she mentions she put a lot into it. ~Grimmy~

    well, i think you gotta do what you gotta do. if you really cant face them, and you've made your decision, theres no use in beating yourself up about it. your life is rough enough already without you giving yourself a hard time for skipping out. but.. i think ideally in my opinion, it would be nicer if you just went, family get togethers shouldnt be about who is the most successful, it should just be about spending time with loved ones and keeping in touch with our relatives and eating yummy food. Do you really think they are going to be judging you the whole time? I dont know them but I would like to think that they would rather just get to spend time with you, than have you skip out because you feel embarrassed or whatever. They might get the wrong idea too, like that you just dont like them, or dont care about them, etc. But like I said, its really up to you. I think getting together for the holidays with family is important, but I dont think people should be FORCED to go, or have to get together EVERY time, either.

    nothing wrong in skipping, but because of your situation it might be a good thing for you to go. you get food, and get to spend some time with other humans. might just lift your spirits. but if you feel otherwise, then there is absolutely nothing wrong in you spending that day by yourself.
