While the world is dealing with serious issues like natural disasters, terrorism and disease, the people around you seem to be more concerned about YOUR life. They want to know what you’re doing, where you’re going, who your friends are, what you had for lunch and… basically everything. These things don’t stop at your home with your parents. Your friends, their parents, your neighbours… everyone is just too into you!
If you’re a twenty-somethings, you’ve definitely battled these lines people throw at you all the time:
