The missing link

I’ve never felt that i would totally fit in my family. The way of my thinking is totally different and compared to them, i seem like total jerk without empathy. I’ve just accepted this as a fact and moved on. Not like your genetic tells the whole story, surroundings have something to do with personality too.

As i said before i had some relatives in the new city, uncle, sis and some little cousins. I haven’t really spend time with my uncle because he travels a lot and is always working. My grandma asked me to visit my uncle now that i live less than 2km from them. I’m not really a family person but i thought i would play the nice niece card and give him a call. He asked me to visit their home and i was fine with the idea.

When i visited my uncle i really got surprised. I haven’t hang with him much and i had totally different mental image from him. We talked till late night and more i listened him more i realized that we had a lot in common. It just made me wonder that how come we think alike so deeply. Okay, the same person basically raise us, so it definitely has something to do with the out come but nothing else in our backgrounds doesn’t fit.

I don’t know why, but this made me feel nice and fuzzy, I’m not a total misfit! I’m just family’s asshole like my uncle!

It was almost weird that we agreed with so many things, and that he is as ruthless as me when it comes to certain things. Or I am as ruthless as him because obviously he is a lot older than me. All the rest of our family are really empathetic people, social and out going, so I’ve always wondered that why I’m not. Okay, now if I look back, my uncle has always actively avoid family gatherings and I should have done the math…
