I’m very close to my aunt, but it’s kind of tiring being around her. She’s very sensitive and dramatic in general, so you have to be very careful around her. Last time, for example, at my graduation, I could only bring five people to watch, and she was upset with me for bringing a friend of mine instead of her husband, whom I’ve only known for a year. She also pressures me a lot to visit her, and I don’t always have time because I work, study, and am also in a relationship, and she ignores me for a day or two when I say I can’t go.
When she’s not complaining about attention, she complains about her health and talks nonstop about how much she spent on exams that month. She had stage 1 cancer once, and since then, if you say you have something, she thinks she does too and will get tested. In the last six months, she claims to have been diagnosed with anxiety, PTSD, and even OCD. Lately, she claims to have depression and now wants me to go to her house almost every week, but I really can’t. I would never tell her I don’t believe her, but depression is a very serious thing, and honestly, she doesn’t seem depressed around anyone.
Now she’s mad at me because it’s been a month since I went there, but I’m quite upset with her because of the graduation situation. Also, when we were there, as soon as I got off the stage, she said she was going home because she thought she was going to die and was very sick, everyone got a bit uncomfortable afterwards. Later, I found out that she was diagnosed with pre-diabetes and was having side effects from the medication. AITA for no taking much care at her because I can’t believe her?
