How to Survive a Meeting with Relatives During a Feast: How to Prepare for Unpleasant Conversations
For some of us, meeting relatives is a real test of nerves.
It is also believed that it is better not to spoil relations with relatives, as they may improve in the future.
Agreeing to meet with relatives regardless of the level of relations is a worthy and strong step.
Let's see how you can prepare for this event.
How to get in the mood for the holiday
First of all, you can't create illusions - it's important to understand what exactly you want to get from communication. Perhaps you won't meet acceptance and approval.
Separate personality from opinion - just because a relative thinks your work is unworthy doesn't mean he's a bad person.

Remember your dignity and your plan for life. It is important to realize what you want to achieve - other people's opinions are of little importance in this case.
