Q: About if you're over the age of 18 and they're still taking your belongings even without your consent.
She's been taking my belongings repeatedly even without making sense she slows my my day down she doesn't even think twice I'm not sure what I should do.
A:
It sounds really frustrating to have someone repeatedly take your belongings without permission. If you’re over 18, your personal boundaries and property should be respected, and it’s understandable that this is slowing you down and causing stress. It's important to assert your independence and set clear limits to protect your space.
You might want to have a calm conversation with her about how this behavior is affecting you. Try explaining how it’s making your day harder and why it's important to have your things respected. Sometimes people don’t realize the full impact of their actions until it’s communicated clearly.
If the issue continues even after talking, it may be necessary to take further steps, like keeping certain items in a secure place or creating stronger boundaries. Your time and possessions deserve to be respected. You deserve to feel at ease in your own space.
