9 situations in which you should learn to respond by saying "Mind your own business"

We are often bombarded with questions and comments about what we do or do not do, and about the choices we make, feeling obliged to answer and explain everything.

It is absolutely not necessary to be subjected to all this! In fact, perhaps we should remember, and remind ourselves more often, that "the world is beautiful because it is varied" and that no one should have a word to say about our activities.

Here, then, are nine things that we should not have to explain to anyone.

• 1. Everyone has their own priorities and no one has the right to judge them just because they have other priorities. In these cases, a distinction cannot be made between right and wrong. If in the top position there is the profession, the family or individual passions, the important thing is to be happy with what you do. 

• 2. We live in a contradictory society, in which if you want to be alone you are told that it is a sad and appalling thing. Wanting to be a little alone is physiological and normal, just like being with someone. There is, therefore, no reason to find justifications for the choice made. 

• 3. Also with regard to one's sentimental life, we will always hear people saying opposite things. If you stay with only one person for a lifetime, you will hear that it is better to have had more experiences; if instead, you are single and free, you are labeled as a promiscuous lowlife. The advice is always the same --- It is your life, and no one should have anything to say, as long as you respect others.

• 4. Never give explanations about your physical appearance! Everyone is what they are or want to be, without taking into account the comments of others that are heavily influenced by the standards of beauty imposed by our society. 

• 5. The same thing applies to the type of food that you decide to eat. Healthy or not, vegetarian or vegan, everyone must feel free to choose what they want, without being judged by others. 

• 6. If you decide that you do not want to continue seeing a person for personal reasons, it is not necessary to justify this decision for any reason.

• 7. Also as regards the type of family that you want to create, such as living alone with animals, or with only your partner, or with only your children --- no explanation of any kind should be given. 

• 8. Unfortunately, it happens too often that when a person decides to undertake a certain course of study or work, they are told that they have made the wrong decision and that it will not lead to anything positive. It is best to never forget that the important thing is to do what most satisfies and makes you happy. 

Remember, no one will ever give you a medal because you have satisfied others and you have done what they expected from you! Everyone has their own life and can decide how to live it while respecting others ... but also in complete freedom!
