Setting Boundaries: How to Respond to Invasive Personal Questions

In a world where personal boundaries are often blurred, Dr. Demetria McNeal reminds us of the importance of setting clear lines. 🎎

She shares a powerful narrative about the audacity of people who feel entitled to ask intimate questions. 🏮

Imagine being asked, "When do you think you're going to start having babies?" by someone who isn't in your close circle of friends.

Dr. McNeal suggests responding with, "Why do you think you have the right to ask me that question?" or "Do you think we share a relationship that warrants such personal inquiries?" 🎐

She emphasizes that it's perfectly acceptable to establish your boundaries by stating, "I do not discuss intimate details of my life with people who are not in my intimate circle of friends. I am happy to talk about something less personal."

Remember, your personal life is your own. You have the right to decide who gets to know the intimate details. Stand your ground.
