Just like with covid, social distancing ;-)
On a serious note: by making sure they understand I live my life how I want to and that I don't like it how someone tries to tell me what I should and shouldn't do. Of course they might mean well and try to give advise, but ultimately you live your life on your terms.
Just gotta see what your approach is gonna be, it's different with close family and a bit harder to be subtle but clear compared to friends or generall acquaintances
That's such an idealistic scenario but unfortunately doesn't happen like that in the real world. People just don't believe in live and let live concept. Poking noses is an all-time favourite job, haha.
True! Doesn't mean you have to accept it and have it influence you too much. I guess you can't always make sure it won't happen. But by being clear about what you accept and especially what crosses your boundary goes a long way
