Personally, a big smile would shut me up, but some people are so clueless and so determined to belittle you that they don't even get it. Relatives get away with a lot of shit(excuse me Marie) simply because they are "family" and they take the liberty of letting anything fly out of their mouth. *smh* Marie, I'm gonna share a video with you in a few minutes. Please check out this lady's stare.

I love your advice and watch all your vids but giving people 'the glare down' only works once or twice. People are clueless (especially the mean ones) and need to know how you feel, not how hard you can stare them down to shut them down.

I have an aunt who does this all the time -___- she has no place to lecture me at all! she hasnt spoken to my family and I for years eversince her wedding because we "ruined it" when she see's me again, the first thing she does is make snarky comments at my facial piercings then starts to lecture me and it really ticks me off because she's not all that close so she has no place to say anything to me! its annoying

hallelujah! (; i've been waiting and looking for a video and regular blogs how to deal with relatives who ask personal and rude questions. If i ignore or answer I WONT answer that, they nagg me all day because I live with them and they respond with "I have to know because Im your brother". I don't understand how he can be so rude and expect me to answer, one question he would ask is "do you know all your finance secrets/how can you trust him" when obviously i know everything about that person

What if a family member of mine or another relative of mine, adds onto the nosy questions and/or rude comments from another family member of mine and/or another relative of mine?

this was a great advice! i am going to try this out.
towadychea--I would put limits on what you will do for him. Set boundaries. That way, he won't try to get you to do everything for him. He sounds bored. And also you need to tell him to respect your privacy and your time, and that he can't always come in and bother you with something.

ImBabyBunny--They are going to find any reason they can to make a nasty comment, anything that makes you stand out from everyone else. You didn't do anything wrong. Congrats on the weight loss!

coolmask123--I have a teenager, so I deal with rude comments all the time!!
deewaipio--I would say, yes, if you are going to give to one person, you've got to give to everyone, otherwise you'll deal with hurt feelings, etc. Even the person who doesn't speak to you (seems like there is one person like that in every work place!) It might be easier to draw names, so no one gets hurt and you don't have to spend a lot. Or, even better, don't buy anything for anybody!

Candeeta4u--I get what you're saying, but in my experience, some of these types of people are unable to reason.
