Is it normal that my family is so lovable but..

..I never look forward to introducing my friends/boyfriends to them? It's not like I think the people I'd be introducing my family to aren't good enough or viseversa, but I just hate it. I'm the total odd ball in my family. They're all fun, loud, and so social. I'm the total opposite. I just always feel like if I introduce them to eachother then they'll realize I don;t belong with either of them. I don't if that makes sense, but what I mean is like what if my friend/boyfriend thought I didn't belong in this family or if my family thought my friends/boyfriend was way out of my league? I seriously hate introducing people to my family because I'm afraid of everyone seeing what I see when it comes to me and my family.. Is this normal?

  • If they're a true friend/boyfriend, then they would accept you regardless of how your family appears. I mean you sound like you're also a fun and social person, just not in the same way as your family. I really don't think anybody would see you any different, if anything it'll show your friend/boyfriend that you trust them.

    that's normal. i think most people hate introducing family and sig others. you have your own neurosis about it, but that's ok. maybe one day you'll feel better about it.

    perhaps you should consider being with someone who knows you completely
