Family

gentlePond9858 July 17th, 2021

I feel really anxious right now due to the fact my family will be moving into a home that is on the same street as me! I love my family but it is too close for comfort. They have no boundaries, pushy, gossipy. They talk behind everyones backs and i just feel like an outcast when around them. Now i will have no privacy as they will stop by everyday unnanounced. They tear up the house and no discipline with their kids. Always a mess to clean after they leave. I cant stand the thought they will be living on my street. I cant control it

Also, is it bad i dont like people coming over? Growing up my mom always had people over and whenever someone came there was drama or a fight. I feel like now i tie that in that whenever someone comes over there will be a fight and its set in me to get anxious and not want people over. How do i break this?

Hereis a solution, Instead of them coming over, you can go over to them. That way you can leave on your own time when it gets too much for you!

I completely understand, but maybe instead of it being a negative thing you can spark it up into a positive thing like now your mom and you can work on your relationship, you can bond, and talk, try letting her know how you feel :)

Family is very important, and if there is anything i have learned these past months its that they are not always gonna be here especially our parents, no matter how hard it is we need to hold on to them because ,the pain and regret we feel when they leave this earth and we know we could have been better to them, it's just not a good feeling.. :)

@gentlePond9858 Hey Gentle! What I hear is that your are feeling extremely anxious and frustrated about living close to nosy family. I can see how you would be upset especially if they have no boundaries and they refuse to respect your space. Have you thought about setting up boundaries with your family?
