<human>: Can you succinctly summarize the text in 1-3 sentences?

**Theoretical:**

You don't get to choose your family. You never asked them to provide for you; they just do it (and you would be a fool to refuse their help since it hastens your path to independence).

You have finite time to spend in the company of others. Once you become independent, what strong reasons are there to keep spending time with people just because they happen to be your relatives?

**Applied:**

**My story for background:**

I didn't realize how sheltered and ignorant I was until I went to a boarding school. There I met an incredible number of intelligent people that made me realize how PAINFULLY ignorant and prejudiced I used to be. They still haven't changed. Visiting is a catch 22. If I put on a face and don't ruffle any feathers, I feel disgusting; if I tell them what I really think, they will make my life miserable. I think I can pretty objectively conclude that ANY more time I spend with them is a waste.
<bot>: went to boarding school/college, realized how disturbingly ignorant my family is, met much better people, and now I think it's an extreme waste of my time to ever see them again. Why the fuck should I?
