My family follows my friends’ posts on social media and asks me questions about them. This makes me uncomfortable, and I feel like my freedom is being restricted. I love them, but this level of interference puts me in a difficult position. What should I do? I don’t understand why my private life is so important to them.
I’ve had situations like that too, but they didn’t pry so much. One time, they directly asked, ‘Why are you hanging out with someone from that school?’ It got really stupid. They managed to sort things out a bit after talking.
Is it something you experienced or are they just listening to stories? If they are following all of them, it’s a serious issue.
@cokdaseyapma people especially watch stories, but they also check who liked what in the posts. The question ‘who is this and why is it like this’ keeps coming up.
@camkenari if you’re sharing this much information, then you’ve got some blame too, I mean, don’t share so much. If you want it to be special, it shouldn’t be on social media.
most likely a desire to check. cutting off the conversation in these types of situations in the family only escalates the same issue later. speak directly and express your discomfort. if they continue to follow, stop sharing for a while.
how do you deal with this much stalking? I’d go crazy.
@yazipsildim quitting social media won’t solve the problem. family is already involved in everything; the real solution is to talk.
@valla_soruyorum I’m talking, but they don’t understand. In their eyes, I’m still seen as a child.
So, let’s make it clear, so they understand. It’s tough if it goes on like this, but don’t give up.
