[quote=Anonymous]I am a lifelong but recovering people pleaser, so when people ask questions I don't want to answer, I either: 1) Answer anyway because I can't think quickly enough to remember that I'm not actually required to disclose info to someone just because they asked, OR 2) Get openly irritated with them for asking what I think is an inappropriate question or making me feel uncomfortable or obligated to share something I don't want to share. I am getting better at stopping, remembering I have free will, and just evading the question, or asking a question back ("why do you ask?") or changing the subject. Or even calmly saying "I don't think that's any of your business." I know these are the right responses but it is hard for me to overcome my feeling of obligation, or my resentment for that sense of obligation. Blame a childhood of being give no privacy and then being yelled at for the tiniest thing.[/quote]
