Dear Steve and Samantha,
You need to know when and how to set HEALTHY BOUNDARIES. It saves you the need or urge to explain. Encroachment from parents, friends, and family may cost you your mental health. At this stage of your life, you need to protect your TERRITORY… It’s not pride.
“You are not free until you are free from the fear of what others think about you. Develop a crowd-resistant mentality”.
