awkward christmas small talk with a relative

You sit down next to someone you only see once a year. A relative. A partner’s cousin. Someone you should know… but don’t. The conversation starts politely. Weather. Travel. Work. Then it stalls. You’re not fighting. Nothing is wrong. And yet… everything feels fragile. This is the Christmas Small Talk Trap — the uniquely awkward social situation where politeness, memory gaps, and holiday expectations collide. You’re expected to be warm, engaged, and familiar… without having enough shared context to sustain a real conversation. In this episode, Owen overthinks why Christmas small talk feels harder than normal small talk, how silence becomes louder around family, and why every option — honesty, generic questions, or forced enthusiasm — somehow makes things worse. If you’ve ever nodded through a holiday conversation while mentally counting down until dessert… you’re not alone. Owen Overthinks It explores everyday social moments through psychology, overthinking, and gentle existential dread — so you don’t have to. #christmas #smalltalk #awkwardmoments #socialanxiety #overthinking #familygatherings #holidaystress #humanbehavior #psychology #owenoverthinksit
