My family are painfully middle class and insist on having boring middle class gatherings where emotional warmth is avoided for the sake of maintaining middle class propriety even though at heart we're trash who should really just break out the booze and cut loose with the defenses. I think the real problem is that we're Irish Catholic emotional islands who are on some level trying to prove to the English that we're not just European redneck messy drunks even though we haven't been Irish for a hundred years.

Gatherings are terrifying for some people and you just have to accept that that is who you are even if it's not fun.
