One Sentence that Ends Every Nagging

Sunday, July 13th, 2008

Don’t you think it’s about time you get married?

Don’t you think it’s about time you have children?

Don’t you think it’s a stupid decision to quit your job?

Sounds familiar? Well, the typical answer would be smile nicely while thinking about seven possible exits from that situation. You can try, “No, i’m not in a hurry to get married.” “No, I don’t like kids.” Then, suddenly they hit you with “But, WHY?”

Well, this sentence is a perfect answer to end it. Practice saying it.

“It’s my personal and private decision, and i really think you should respect it.”

Below sentences are taken from here

Remember when most people react or judge your choices, they’re revealing something about themselves, their beliefs or anxieties, even if they seem to be speaking about you (or believe they are). While that sort of behavior can affect you, it really and truly is not about you. Once you start to notice this, life can get pretty liberating.
