Life is changing dating isn't priority.

How old are you? I’d advise not discussing your personal life with your family. Are you telling them that you’re casually hooking up with guys? If so, don’t! It’s not their business. If they ask you why you’re not dating, just say you’re focusing on getting your life in order (or however you want to put it), and you’re not interested in dating now. And change the subject, don’t continue to engage. If need be, tell them firmly and clearly that you don’t want to talk about it. If you refuse to discuss it, they can’t keep asking.

sorry, I meant r (forward slash) self. On the reddit site.

Hello! Yes, I’ve facing similar issue with setting boundaries, first in my job and then with friends. But I’m learning how to say no more often. I’ve battling with anorexia and losing my apetite. I work long hours and sometimes forget to eat. It all started with breaking up with my ex. He came back but I couldn’t care less. He tried to appeal to me emotionally while I was dealing with my own issues which he knew but wouldn’t stop chasing me. Until I stood my ground and asked me to stop contacting me. He didn’t respect that so I blocked him from everywhere. Still healing from it as he used to be my best friend and the guilt sometimes doesn’t let me sleep because I never intended to shut him down but I needed to get my life in order and he wasn’t positively affecting me. I feel like I treated him like a bitch because he was begging and stalking me but I got scared and took some extreme measures. I’ve never done this to a person and I feel horrible. This is when eating disorder appear. I feel better with time but just have this idea that I did a person wrong and became the reason someone is unhappy (he told me he couldn’t date or sleep but it freaked me out more). I don’t feel ready to step into something new unless I fully recover from my guilt. It was also my first boyfriend.
