Angry over mischaracterisation, even when it’s a joke.
I'm moving out soon for university and my parents and other family members keep making jokes about me going out clubbing every night until 4am, getting blackout drunk, then coming back to the flat and eating all my flatmates food.
I understand it's intended as a joke, but it just makes me upset and angry because 1) I don't like clubbing, 2) I don't drink much and when I do go out I'm always sensible and back by lam latest and 3) I am not the kind of selfish person to eat another persons food.
It just makes me like irrationally angry to be told by people that they think or say I will be like this, when I couldn't be any more different!!
My parents even say in seriousness that they think I'm gonna start clubbing loads and actually enjoy even though I know for a fact that I don't enjoy it. I'm kind of glad to be moving out soon toh because then they'll stop saying these things to me.
