Does anyone else struggle to stay in touch with family? As much as I like mobile phones, I'm not an advid talker.. I freeze when I ring someone, and don't know what to say because my mind just seizes up..
It's embarrassing.. :unsure:
I want to keep in touch with my Grandad, but find it hard, because I never know what to say.. My sister starts a text conversation about how are you etc, then starts asking xyz, and I just think "here she goes again", and shut down.. I know she means well, but pushing me isn't going to achieve a goal, it just makes me put my head back in the sand and ignore her..
It's also the travelling, I don't just live around the corner, can't just pop by when ever either.. and I always feel as though other family should be there, it doesn't feel right to see him alone (always been family gatherings)..
I've never been to see him, when he's on his own, so it's gonna be strange :unsure:
Help please guys, i'm not sure if it's lack of confidence in myself or worrying i'm going to be shocked bout any changes in him, as he was ill recently..
We're not a close knit family, and slowly drifting apart as time goes on, I only see my dad once a year!
