My mom keeps sending me friend/follow requests on social media, but I do not want to let her into my virtual space. Not that I have anything to hide, but I value my space with my friends. I share a very good relationship with my mother, which is why it bothers me to say no all the time. How can I make her understand that I need my space? I’m a Class XI student.
I appreciate your openness and your concern for your mother. It is fine to have some privacy and space for yourself. What is very important is to gain your parents;’ confidence. They are our well-wishers, but sometimes they are over-concerned, leading to conflicts. Each person must give space to others. An open conversation is the best way to gain mutual respect. Give your mother the confidence that you will share anything important with her and that you will not cross boundaries. Understand her concern and act accordingly.
