How to make my friends understand

[DerBear]

Recently I told my friends I am a Wiccan and as I thought I got a lot of question now at first a few did not care and I am 100% fine with that. But a few are still going on about it and I am really beging to get annoyed about all the stupid questions I keep getting from them and I know they are stupid as they even admit they are doing it just to annoy me.

Theres a few people who are also taking the mick so to speak and I also really dislike that

Any Help?

Any idea how I can make them understand?

Its common for people to be curious of the unknown, but its evidient that your friends are just trying to do so to annoy and irritate you.
And they just enjoy seeing you get irritated, reacting would just spur them on.

This does not happen just in believes, but it happens when it comes matters which are uncommon in their context. i.e sexuality.
Hence this is one of the reasons why is it not that eazy to come out to friends.

An option you can choose would be to give them a nudge, telling them enough is enough.
Im sure any true and self respecting friend would know when to draw the line.

Alternatively you can try to remain passive, and not react to their questions and after a while, they would pretty much get bored and not ask anymore.

These are a few more diplomatic approaches you may take on, rather than losing your temper at them.

Good luck

I feel the exactly same about my sexuality. Some people just don't drop it.

Of course they will ask questions and be curious about it. But sometimes it gets too much. You could ask them to just drop it and not ask you about it anymore?

I sent an email out to all of my friends basically explaining how I felt and can they stop asking me about it. Told them to stop taking the Mick cause it's part of who I am. They shut up fairly quickly after that. You need to tell them straight, or they will never get the message.

1stly, just tell them you don't like it that their making fun . if that doesnt work try and laugh at the jokes they make. that will sure to surprise them ;D
try opening your mind and not be too sensitive. friends make fun but that doesnt mean they mean u harm.
