Don't get me wrong, there are a lot of things that I'm thankful for. There are also quite a few things I dread about the holidays, especially Thanksgiving. I could go on and on about the things I dislike. I'm quite the complainer, so here are the top 13 things I dread about Thanksgiving.

1. Not being able to be myself

A few people in my family don't know about my sexuality, so I have to hide who I am. It feels like crap so I just avoid the whole situation.

2. Having to watch my language

I have the mouth of a sailor, so I have to filter every single word that comes out of my mouth. Then theres the occasional slip up that I sorta just play off with a quick cover up. It's too much work.

3. Being questioned about "cute boys"

No, I don't know any cute boys, but I do know a cute girl.

4. Being surrounded by a bunch of people

I have pretty bad anxiety, so being around a bunch of family makes me feel like an elephant is sitting on my chest.

5. Saying Grace

It's not that I don't believe in God, I'm just not very religious. I sorta just sit there awkwardly staring at the food I can't eat yet.

6. Having to choose which family to celebrate with

No matter who I pick, someone will always end up hurt in the end and I hate hurting people.

7. Not being with my parents

My mom is my best friend and I kinda just really miss my parents.

8. Snarky remarks

I don't know why you thought it was okay to say that, because it's not. No, it was not funny, either.

9. The house being a million degrees

Between all of the people and the cooking, it's too damn hot!

10. Football

Our team usually loses and everyone ends up pretty pissed, but we will also watch every single other game when I'd rather be watching the parade.

11. Talking about my plans for the future

I just don't know, okay? Talking about it just stresses me out more. Ya'll are going to drive me to drink.

12. Traffic

Everybody and their moms are out on the road and they just need to get out of my way.

13. Living near the outlets on Black Friday: I like shopping, but I hate people

I just want to get my deals and get out without being pushed, shoved, or yelled at. That is all.
