Don’t get us wrong, we LOVE celebrating Raya! It’s the most wonderful time filled with lemang, rendang and the best food around! :D

The only thing we’re afraid of: Our extreme awkwardness when it comes to seeing the extended family and "family friends" you don’t recognize

Here are just some anxiety-inducing things any introvert can relate to during the Raya season:

1. When you’re listing down your wrong-doings during the bermaafan session with your parents and your relatives start listening

5. When your parents drag you along to ALL the open houses but you just wanna stay home and eat your ketupat in peace

6. Looking for pets to play with when you get there so that you don’t have to actually talk to people

7. When an uncle who doesn’t recognise you asks “Anak siapa ni?” and you feel weird using your parent’s first name

8. When your distant relative keeps asking if you’re taking SPM this year, EVERY YEAR

10. When there’s a long line at the buffet station and you don’t wanna hold up the queue so you end up taking random things you don’t even want

11. When you’re full but your auntie tambah your food because she assumes you’re too shy to ask

12. When you get stuck sitting beside an extremely chatty acquaintance

It gets even more uncomfortable when they realise how awkward you really are.

13. When you’re suddenly soooo interested with whatever’s playing on TV

Just because you want to make it less awkward for not having topics to talk about.

14. When you're carrying someone's baby and they start crying

And everyone starts looking at you.

15. When your parents finally get up to leave but they end up spending 30 more minutes chatting at the door and you’re just standing there not knowing what to do

16. When you come home and start recalling all the awkward conversations you had throughout all the open houses
