Family means no one gets left behind or Forgotten… This line presents a very beautiful picture of any family. But often people who call themselves ‘family’ forget their boundaries and start entering into your relationship. A little interference from relatives is acceptable, but when they start interfering excessively in your life, sometimes it becomes the cause of a lot of trouble. It is not that every time the intentions of relatives are bad, but when they start entering your personal space, then things can get worse. To avoid this, it is important for you to deal with it a little smartly.
1. Decide their boundaries – First of all, tell your relatives clearly which topics or decisions of your life are personal. But remember, do this with love and respect so that they do not feel bad. You can tell in our conversations that we do not share such things with anyone. You can politely tell your relatives or family that ‘I understand your concern, but I would prefer to handle this matter myself.’ Setting boundaries will maintain balance in the relationship.
2. Speak your mind calmly – Many times, when some outsider or relative interferes in our private matter, we react in such a way that it may seem bad. But in such a situation, you should first exercise patience. If someone is repeatedly hindering your work, then there is no need to get irritated. Because this can make things even worse. It is better to react by remaining calm. Aggressive reaction will only spoil the atmosphere, whereas your remaining calm can save relationships.

3. It is also important to understand the perspective – There will be relatives around you who advise you on how to take decisions in life or what to do. But it is not necessary that every person is entering your life every time. It is also not right to completely reject the other person every time. The most important thing is that you understand whether the advice you are getting is an interference or they are caring for you. Before coming to any decision, you should understand what their intention is. Whenever you try to take care of their feelings, the atmosphere will remain positive.
4. Learn to change the topic – If relatives are repeatedly taking more interest in your personal matters, then try to change the direction of the matter lovingly. Many times such a situation can be avoided and handled. With this you can make the situation light and positive without any argument. Instead of finding solutions every time, you can make your life easier by avoiding some things.
5. Create a support system in the family – If any relative’s interference is becoming too much, then talk to someone else in your family. They can help others understand by understanding your point of view. For example, if you have a problem with your mother-in-law’s or father-in-law’s words or excessive interference, then you can take the help of your sister-in-law or any such relative and explain your point of view. Having trustworthy people on your side is beneficial in every situation.
