Do you have people who are always meddling in your business?

Nobody messes with me because they don't get what I am doing.

I hate it when people do that to me and I don't do that to anyone. I respect others right to keep their things personal and I will experess my opinion only if the person wants me to talk about his/her personal matters. I never force anybody tao take decision on their personal matters according to my interest. I haven't experienced many people getting into my business. I would prefer to tell them right on their face 'IT IS NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS'.

No, I really don't have too many folks bothering my business, etc. My children are very good about that, and I don't have any friends either that does that.

Not all people are like that. Generally, people who live either a unhappy or a boring life are like that. Also a person who is not satisfied with his own accomplishments happen to be officious. There are highly opinionated people who want others to always behave in the way 'they should'. Personally, I don't like these people. They are extremely difficult to handle as they often have the highest notion about themselves. But as a matter of fact, it's only their own weakness that they want to camouflage. Whatever be the reason, they just can't stay still. They also have a feeling of insecurity. They can't stand to be neglected. When others give them importance they feel really good. I think the best way to deal with such people is to accent to whatever they say. They want to feel important, and I let them feel it by apparently agreeing to everything they say. I know this sounds a bit odd. But there is really no other way. Even if they are wrong, they will usually have a firm stand on it and will never yield to your ideas. So I let them have their ways. Arguing with such a person is the last thing you'd want to do.
