My family made plans for my birthday but I think I'm just going to ditch.
Why are you going to ditch the plans that your family made?
I think they just made the plans because they want to pretend like they care. The last family meeting we had I fell asleep and they were really upset about it so I think they're just doing it to be doing it.
If your family didn't care, they wouldn't have even bothered to make plans. Families have disagreements all the time and they still care about each other. They were nice enough to make plans and you know about them so it would be rude to not attend.
I feel like they don't want to waste their time on me and I don't want to be around people who don't know how to appreciate others.
If you avoid the plans that your family made for you, you will seem unappreciative to them. This will cause them to avoid making plans for you in the future.
