Should I cut ties with my family in the future?
I’ve been thinking about this and I just need a tiny push to fully confirm my decision.
My sister and I had a huge argument one day, and during this argument, she pointed out every flaw and every insecurity I have.
She did apologize after crashing the fuck out on me while crying her eyes out for god knows what. The reason for the argument? I was teasing her and joking with her but she somehow took that personal.
Personally, this made me feel extra insecure as its my sibling confronting me about it. I’ve been ignoring and avoiding her ever since the argument, which was in the beginning of 2025.
She’s also been “extra nice” to me after this argument as I think she knows I’m avoiding her. My dad even asked if me and my sister were best friends, as a way to think we are on good terms, and I always avoid that question.
She is always loud as well, blasting music or watching Netflix with full volume on her tv, she never lets me have a good night sleep even after I verbally complained about it to my mom. I bet my mom is tired of telling her to shut up for me.
She is moving to college to go california and I now have the chance to fully cut her out of my life. Should I do it?

I would suggest therapy to work this out. Or at least talking with her, calmly. Asking randos online who tend t......
