My aunt is getting married, we were talking attire and low and behold: I had to get made fun of because I like superheroes and going to comic cons!
One of my other relatives was all: "Hope you don't come dressed as Batman or a Ninja Turtle!"
I got mad, cussed at him along the lines of:
I'm not a [expelative] idiot! I know not to wear a costume to a [another expelative] formal event!
Then, I was accused of being a crybaby -_- The relative was defending it as: 'joking'. Then, they claimed I do the same thing...?
I have NEVER made fun of anyone for what they liked. Sure, I'll make fun of my mom's accent in English (and she'll make fun of mine on certain words I don't know in Spanish, we make fun of each other's speech in general and it's funny to us) and I'll flat out say mean things about relatives I don't like which I have no problem saying to their faces but, I'll never make fun of someone just for what they enjoy.
I got made fun of enough as a kid for EVERYTHING and I get enough of that from people I meet in the real world for anything at all as an adult still...my family can't just cut me some slack!?
It just makes me sad and again: makes me feel totally unwanted and reminds me how much I can only stand like 5% of my family.
