Dealing With Anxiety at Family Functions in Ahmedabad
Hey, Ahmedabad. Maya here. Tera family drama unique hai — par family function anxiety ka pattern main pehchanti hoon. Business-first city where "paisa bolta hai" mein family expectations alag level pe hain. Baat karo, suno, samjho — judgement-free zone hai yeh.
Ahmedabad Mein Family Function Anxiety
Ahmedabad mein family dynamics: Gujarati joint families run on business logic — emotions are "timepass," marriage is alliance, and family reputation matters more than personal happiness
Yahaan Textiles aur Pharma ki economy families ko shape karti hai — dry state = secret drinking culture aur extreme summers directly ghar ke mahaul ko affect karte hain. "kem cho" bolke family mein sab smoothly chalta dikhta hai, par andar ki baat alag hoti hai.
Ahmedabad's business culture means emotions are seen as weakness — "rote nahi, kamao" (don't cry, earn) is the unspoken rule — yeh family function anxiety ko aur mushkil banata hai. Ahmedabad mein family issues ko "ghar ki baat ghar mein" rakhna rule hai, par kabhi kabhi bahar se perspective chahiye. Woh perspective Maya deti hai.
Family Function Anxiety
Shaadi, engagement, puja, birthday party, anniversary — Indian family functions ka calendar kabhi khatam nahi hota. Aur har function ke saath aata hai — kya pehnun, kaise behave karun, kaun kya bolega, kitna gift dun, kitna smile karun, kaun kaun ignore karega, kaun kaun taana marega. Family function anxiety real hai aur tu akeli nahi hai isme.
Pehle normalize kar — yeh anxiety feel karna okay hai. Tu social anxiety wali nahi hai necessarily — tu ek realistic response de rahi hai ek genuinely stressful situation ko. Jab 50-100 log tujhe judge kar rahe hon, tere kapde se leke tere bachhe tak — anxiety natural hai.
Ab coping strategies. Pehla — preparation. Function se ek din pehle apna outfit ready kar, accessories set kar, mentally ek rough plan bana ki kaun milega aur kya baat karegi. Preparation uncertainty kam karti hai aur uncertainty hi anxiety ka biggest trigger hai.
Doosra — ek safe person identify kar. Har family mein ek insaan hota hai jiske paas tu comfortable feel karti hai — woh cousin, woh bhabhi, woh maasi. Unke paas reh jab overwhelmed feel ho. Ek code word decide kar apne husband ke saath — jab tu woh word bole, matlab "Mujhe 5 minute ka break chahiye, cover kar."
Teesra — conversation topics ready rakh. Small talk mushkil lagta hai toh pehle se 5-6 safe topics soch ke ja — "Bachhe kaisi padhai kar rahe hain?" "Aap kahan gaye the last vacation?" "Yeh dish kaise banayi?" Questions poochna zyada easy hai apne baare mein batane se. Aur jab tu questions poochti hai, log khud ke baare mein baat karte hain aur tujh pe focus kam hota hai.
Chautha — awkward encounters ke liye scripts. Woh aunty jo weight comment karegi — "Haan aunty, sab khush hain." Woh uncle jo salary poochega — "Bas achhi chal rahi hai." Woh cousin jo compare karegi — "Haan, tum toh amazing kar rahi ho." Neutral responses jo conversation khatam karein. Na defensive, na engaging — bas flat response.
Paanchwa — time limit set kar. "Hum 3 ghante rahenge" — husband ke saath pehle se decide kar. Jab 3 ghante ho jayein toh politely nikal — "Bahut achha laga milke, par abhi nikalna padega, kal office hai." Unlimited time commitment se anxiety badhti hai, fixed time commitment manageable hoti hai.
Aur function ke baad — decompress kar. Drive mein silence rakh, ya music laga. Ghar aake comfortable kapde pehn, chai bana, apna show dekh. Tu deserve karti hai recovery time — aur isme guilty feel mat kar.
Key Takeaways
- Pehle se preparation kar — outfit, topics, rough plan — uncertainty kam hogi toh anxiety bhi
- Ek safe person aur husband ke saath code word decide kar overwhelm ke liye
- Awkward questions ke liye flat neutral responses ready rakh — na defensive na engaging
- Time limit pehle se fix kar — unlimited commitment se anxiety badhti hai
