I have an older sister, and I’m the youngest. I’ve noticed that most of my family naturally gravitates toward her. The funny part is, they don’t even realize she’s actually quite socially awkward .
She’s not the type who easily keeps conversations going or goes out of her way to make people feel comfortable. Unlike me, I’m not extroverted, but I’ll at least try to keep things flowing so there’s no awkward silence.
But somehow… everyone loves her .My extended family members are especially drawn to her. They want to talk to her, be close to her, and they openly express how much they love her. And she just sits there quietly, probably panicking inside like, “What am I even supposed to say ?”
And what makes it even more funny is that sometimes I have to remind her about small things like checking in on them or reaching out. Not because she doesn’t care but because I know how much it would mean to them if she did. And I know deep down, she does care. She just doesn’t always know how to express it.
