Really, that's what works for your Aunt, and she won't understand that it doesn't work for you.
Just tell her thank you for the prayers, and keep the comment about your not being religious to yourself, there's no reason to hurt her feelings, and you will if you say that. She's not saying that you're lost, she's saying that we
all are lost and have those bad days and maybe you can focus on the good instead of the bad.
Of course this is from experience of growing up in a rather predominately Christian area, but that's my take on it.
As for relating to people, just pay attention. There's no great secret for talking to others.
Speaking of which, how is the trauma center fan group going? Last I heard you had made a few friends there.
Yeah, I would probably just say thank you and appreciate it. That way I won't end up hurting anyone and she can continue to do what she believes in. Maybe I need to work on how I say things.
I think that is my biggest problem lately. I just have to look for a common ground/interest and if I pay attention, I might find sometime I can have in common with other.
It is going well. We found out one of the characters had the same voice as Shinji from Neon Genesis Evangelion, which lead to an amusing crossover.
Since it is a smaller fandom, it is a bit easier to get to know others and talk to them. It's not perfect as all fandoms have their share of problems, but being smaller, a lot the fans seem to more like family and will to work out most issues (just felt bad as some made a mean post about this one girl. I can't say I am a fan of her OC as it doesn't fit well and had reacted badly to people trying to give her advice and I can see it from both sides and it caused drama last year apparently and some re-posted it. But still, I think it was kind of a mean post found it unnecessary. Luckily stuff like that is far and few in between, but I felt a bit scared about my own OCs and work cause of it. I guess shouldn't worry about it).
The only other thing was just from a cosplay and had nothing to do with TC itself, but putting down overweight cosplayers. Being overweight myself and struggling with weight, it kind of made me feel really bad. I guess there are always going to be people like that though. I just need to work on ways with dealing.
