This is my life not yours

"Where are you going?", "Do you have class today?", "Where do you work?" "When would you start working?", "Where's your boyfriend..hmm, you got to be kidding me! you can't be loveless!", "So, don't you get tired of writing articles and poems?".... Wow! I didn't know she's my third mother! (Third mother because my first mother is my real mom and the second is my Aunt) Why does she keep on asking everything about my life and why on Earth is she always telling me what to do with it! She got to be minding her own business and she shouldn't be giving me pieces of advice that are not even effective in her own life. Everyday, she's like that and she keeps on asking the same questions everyday. Sometimes, I just want to zip her mouth or put the stickiest adhesive in the world on it so she won't be bothering me anymore.

I take it you are close enough to her since you call her your third mother, close enough that you can actually have a nice face to face talk with her that you are not comfortable with her unsolicited advices. That while you appreciate her concern and all, you need to breath and have your space and break from it all. Maybe you two can talk about something else rather than about you all the time.

yah, close enough because she lives next door,hahaha. she's my cousin, by the way. we talk about random things and I notice that whenever I answer her questions, there would be a lot of follow-up questions and that's so annoying in my part. now, I realize that I shouldn't answer all of her questions anymore.

Some people think it is their way to show their love and care. If the one is the real mother, I think you can accept it, but still will feel noisy sometime. While to a person who is not so close to you, you may think he/she just wants to know more about your privacy. I think there must be a deadline for other people to know my own things.

If she's my real mom, it's okay but she's only my cousin who's younger than me. sometimes, i want to shout at her but I realize that the one who understands better is the one who respects.

Don't you just love people like this. Always trying to judge you and tell you what you should be doing, living etc and never happy with what you want. Have they really thought about if it was you doing it to them, how would they feel? Personally they need to realize it is your life to .I've not theirs and they need to quit worrying about others and worry only about themselves.

if you cannot avoid her,maybe next time you see her go ask question first before she starts asking questions make sure you wont stop asking question until she go away..ahaha Or if your not that kind of person. Well everytime she ask question just answer it with smiles.. dont say anything just smile. and pretned that your busy and you have to do something else.. anyway its not rude to be mean sometimes. thats how we survive eliminating peole we dont like in our life.

hahahaha I already did that but she's still the same. I think nothing can change her. She's so young and she has a malady and I understand that but my the thread of my patience is really short.

Who is she anyway? I mean, how come you get to see her all the time? You have the right to avoid people tat annoys you. I mean, why would you pretend feeling good about her nosiness when in reality you are not?

Oh, she's my cousin who lives next door. That's right we don't have to pretend that we're okay when we're not. that's hypocrisy, anyway.

I don't know who is your third mom yet since you didn't mention yet. Is she your aunt, too? Perhaps she just cares about you so much and therefore she will keep on asking you questions. She wants to know more about your personal life because she concerns about you. One day when you care about someone so much, you will do the same thing.

Just keep your distance from them. I know you understand them as someone who is just concerned, but it actually is irritating at times. If you as me? I just ignore.

My mom is not even behaving like that so I would be really annoyed if someone would interfere in my life like that. Some people just don't look at the mirror first and ask themselves.

When people are like this, there is something missing from their lives, I think. Perhaps you look as though you are enjoying life, have a good future. I don't know, but usually when people act like this, they have settled for a life they did not want, just because life, in and of itself frightened them. I will tell you, many people are afraid of life, and always knock those who are not afraid of life. Always remember that, and as hard as it is, try to stay away from these people, like other good posters have said.
