#love problems

I love my maternal cousins dearly but this shit pisses me off. These two are closer in area, go to the same school, and use Snapchat. I do not fall into those things, thus I am out of the loop when it comes to drama. The only guy of the group is going thru the typical teenaged boy stuff with dating n shit, and my other cousin is in on all of the tea. I am not. I have not a single clue unless they directly tell me. He could be getting with and breaking up with 3 girls in his school and I would not know until he sends corny basketball player reaction images and dumps lore about it.

I do not understand why they talk about that in the groupchat instead of by themselves. I’m pretty sure they know that I am completely uninformed, yet do not seem to care. It pisses me off because I have a huge case of FOMO and, simultaneously, a fear of asking what’s going on without sounding like a beggar.

I feel it is also the disconnect between him and me that makes this difficult. He’s going thru all that mushy-gushy crush stuff and all that—which might I add is completely normal, and it’s not like he’s a creep to the people he dates; he’s a very sweet kid. My genetic instructions must’ve skipped that step because I cannot understand it at all. So admittedly, when he’s upset about his girlfriend problems I get snappy and annoyed with him because the logic behind it seems so clear to me, and yet cloudy to him.
