No one will know about your personal boundaries ... if you don't declare them out loud.
Seriously, how would Uncle Paul understand that it's better not to ask you about your personal life if only you don't put a taboo on it yourself?You have to learn to demonstrate your boundaries to others aa well as respect their own ones.
Try to negotiate a timetable with your family members. Each should have an
untouchable 15-30-45 minutes of privacy a day. If the arrangements don't work and you suddenly
snap and yell at everyone, don't give up because of feeling guilty.
It is better to realize that this
explosion is a result of the lack of privacy, and to consider it as a reason to try even harder, and follow the established rules and schedule.
