My aunt left a family gathering early after discovering I was not Covid vaccinated. Upcoming events that may involve discussing vax status have my stomach in knots/big anxiety. Hoping for support and advice regarding developing a backbone around discussing vax status.

I had to delete my first comment because it was too hostile sounding. Everything you wrote just sounds awful, and I can't imagine that someone would knowingly subject themselves to that. If my dad hit me up with "How are you going to deal with questions about Covid" I would say, "By not going. Thanks for the warning." Done.

How dare someone ask that of you and make you feel like you're the bad guy for not taking something that is useless and potentially harmful. 4 people. I know FOUR people who died after the shots so far, and numerous others with serious reactions.

No, none of them blame it on the vaccine. It's just young people taking shots and coincidentally having serious health problems or dying after.

So honestly, if you have to worry about something like this -- whew. Your social network sounds awful, and it's exactly why I don't have one. I have a career, wife of 15 years and four strong children. That's enough! My family members would never be like this to me because they know I have enough self respect that I would never be around someone who treats me like that.

Wearing masks!? You're still wearing masks? You have to get out of this abusive situation.

You know what I suggest? Forget that wedding. Make your own. Marry your guy, and if that's not happening then find a better one. Life is too short for this horrible situation you've gotten yourself into, where you have to explain yourself and wear masks around people who would drop you if they found out you didn't take shots which are actually hurting a lot of people.

Good luck. You don't have to live like this.
