As a man i got pride, Im not talking ego, im talking pride. I think every man at some point in his life has had a moment where his pride wouldnt allow him to do something. My question is where do we draw the line? Christmas is only a month away and i got to go to family dinner and deal with a bunch of people i dont like, a bunch of haters, people that didnt have anything good to say about me and only had hateful things to say about me, the same people that told me that i wouldnt be able to do it, but now that im successful and i did everything i said i was going to do, i got look at them and their fake smiles. Im thinking about saying ? them and skipping the christmas dinner as a ? you to them
Jay-Z Death before dishonor and I tell you what else, I tighten my belt 'fore I beg for help, Foolish pride is what held me together through the years

    Better to make amends. In the end, your family will be the only thing you got, bruh.

    I don't think you not wanting to associate with certain people pertains to your pride. To me, having too much pride is turning away a meal when I havent eaten in a few days...pride wouldn't let you accept the generosity being shown.

    In this case, its not your pride, its your level of tolerance...you know they didn't mean you well in the darker days, so your level of relating to them is extremely low. Nothing wrong with knowing what you will or won't tolerate.

    pride is thinking you are better than someone or something. In this case you don't want to deal with them, not be cause you think you are better but because you know they are negative people.

    I got family like that too..
    pride aint got nothin to do with that..
    as u say u and ur immediate family is good.. so be there for them.. im sure moms would love to see u..

    i got family that personally tried to sabotage my ? .. an aunt thats bitter cause i aint dead..
    usually when ur around people that are unsuccessful and u are.. its cause u did somethin different.. so of course they go talk bad about u..
    but if u that upset about it... have comfort in knowin that when u show up they're even more upset..

    i like ? people off further.. so each time they see me im'a be better off then the last time..

    Throw it back in their faces and remind them of all that ? they were talking about you.

    Bring up any dirt you know about them too.

    You'll probably feel a lot better and actually enjoy the family dinner after you get that off your chest.

    Then walk out like this:

    And bump this in your whip as you're leaving:

    Good ? ! diggin the fat guy walking lol
