| The only person outside of my family I have a close connection with is my boyfriend. He and I chat every day for a few hours (we're long-distance, and have been together for 8 years). Other than him, I have a small hand full of online contacts I consider to be friends, though I don't connect 100% wi... |

| I was trying to see if someone would teach me I think there response meant I was so below them and was 'trash' I admin in a couple active facebook groups full of teens, and it's common teen slang nowadays for them to say someone is "trash" if they are heavily obsessed with a thing, in you... |

| Just start asking her questions like: 1. How do I convince my boyfriend to pop the question? 2. How can I become a dental assistant? I have been working in the same job for 16 years but I need something new to do with my life? 3. You seem to full of inquiry. Why didn't you work for a counselor? The... |

| This makes sense actually. I process things more slowly when I'm nervous. I must try to remind myself to stay mindful even in the face of nosy questions of doom. XD I'm exactly the same! I too panic when cornered with nosy questions I wasn't prepared for, and I too find myself unable to process my t... |

| The problem with the direct, boundary-setting approach is that to her, I think it would seem very out of context, and she might even be hurt by your accusation. These are really pretty typical questions, it's just that your situation is such that you don't want to answer. If you end up needing the ... |

| Those are some good ideas but it's better for her to be honest and for the hygienist to know that she is stepping over her boundaries. I have had to tell a few people "This is too much to take in. Besides, I feel like you are being nosy." That gave them the message I wanted some space. So... |

| Thanks everyone for taking the time to reply to me. I have read all of your messages. :) Can you answer with boring, monosyllabic, uninformative replies until her interest dries up? Things like "Oh same old same old" about your job. Or when she asks if you want to change up to something bi... |

| I have a dilemma. :( Every time I go to the dentist's for a teeth cleaning and checkup, my dental hygienist always asks me about my life. She's a very chatty individual, and she's known me since I was a little girl, and she has a good memory unfortunately, so she likes to keep up with what's going o... |

| I believe there's always a right kind of therapy for everyone. But the odds of finding the one that will work for you before you die could be more wide or slim depending how severe or rare the problem is. And the difference between helpful and harmful can be a very subtle fine line, because the huma... |

I didn't say you were. I just didn't know cause sometimes I'm a little slow in ways and things people say can go right over my head. |
