LPT: become that person that people are happy to see at holiday events by avoiding these questions
Social
  • Are you still single?

  • When can we meet your new parter?

  • When are you getting married?

  • When are you having kids?

  • When is baby number X?

  • Why no baby number X?

  • Are you trying to get pregnant?

  • Do you have a fertility issue? Thought about IVF?

  • Are you still at xyz job?

  • Are you still studying?

  • Are you still living in a share house/at home?

  • Have you thought about buying a house?

  • Is your business lucrative yet?

  • When is retirement?

  • Are you missing your deceased loved one? Edit: it was brought to my attention that this is probably a good one to bring up: I think just be mindful

  • When is your child getting married, having kids etc?

  • Do you still have difficulty with substance x abuse?

  • Is the crippling weight of being alive making you contemplate the kindness of death?

Edit: add on from r/cynicalstoop avoid general comments about people’s appearance even if it’s a compliment, including but not limited to;

  • Have you gained/lost weight?

  • Are you tired?

  • Are you pregnant?

  • Are you sick?

Just keep it light over the holidays y’all. If someone wants to talk about their life milestones, they will. Just be gentle with each other pls, it’s a hard time for some.
