Do upu feel comfortable with people asking for information? Have you told your mum and dad about this? As they might be able to give suggestions! If you're not comfortable, I know it's hard but tell them your not comfortable with talking about it, hugs! Leila MultiQuote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leila i mean, i'm fine with general questions right, but i've been pressed for information and yelled at multiple times. i've tried to discuss this with both my parents and their response is that it comes with the job. i did talk to a couple of the casts members about it today and one person was really helpful in explaining things to say to remove myself from that situation MultiQuote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounds like a tough situation to be in. It must be difficult having people wanting to be your friend because of the show. What do your other friends say about this. Are they able to support you at all? I'm really glad you got to talk to some of the casts members about this. They're probably experiencing the same as you are. Was there something in particular that the person told you that will be helpful for you to do? MultiQuote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I'm glad you have some strategies now that you can use eg how you can tell someone you don't want to be their friend anymore. How do you feel about this problem now? Do you feel you still need more advice or are you OK for now? MultiQuote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
