I live with VERY nosy people. they are OCD in they seem like they HAVE to be nosy or they
get anxiety.
what can I do to breakthrough to them or scare them out of their ways?
it gets annoying like my privacy is always compromised. this doesn't bother me much
because I don't feel like I have anything serious to hide but it gets VERY annoying.
they get condescending when you try to tell them to mind their own business.
its like they don't have lives so they feel they need to be involved in others privacy to feel
relevant I don't know any ideas?

The kind of guy who eats used doughnuts out of the dumpster in the alley behind a gas station. But I don't get caught.

asks "who are you?" on Shroomerites Anonymous Normally with people I know who are nosy, I just make it known that they need to stay the fuck away from me. That's the only way you can control their nosiness. If they're snooping through your things then they probably feel like they can walk all over you. The only way to get them to stop is to make sure they know there will be consequences if they do it again.

I'm nosy. There's really nothing you can do. It's not something that can really be unlearned, it's a basic personality trait. They are overly curious. And that burning desire to know everything that's going on will always be there. The more you ignore it, the harder it burns too..

I think nosy people are people who are narcissistic and they think their shit don't stink

Not sure how you draw that conclusion lol.. Me being nosy has nothing to do with me thinking I'm better than everyone else. I just like to know all that is going on around me and it drives me insane when I don't.

Yes but the 'shit not stinking' in your post is a reference to people thinking they are better than others.
As for nosy people not thinking of anyone but themselves, it just doesn't fit. People who are nosy have the exact opposite problem. They care/worry too much about other people instead of minding their own business.
I suppose it could fit if you had a nosy person who only wanted information pertaining to themselves, but most I've known aren't like that. They want it all, I particularly care more about what is going on in other people's lives or situations that don't involve me, than what people think of me. The part that bugs me in these matters is someone always ALWAYS makes some remark to pique your curiosity and then refuses to divulge the information. Why even bring it up then. If you're not gonna talk about what's on your mind, then don't fuck around like you are. I don't go out of my way to be nosy, but people sure seem to go out of theirs to instigate my nosiness. "my life is shit I can't believe what happneed" "What?" "I'm not getting into it"... Then keep your fucking mouth shut lol. What is the point in that anyways.
I don't get condescending when someone tells me to back off, but I AM extremely inquisitive. When there's something going on, I want to know what, and I can be persistent at times, but I'm more driven a deep imbedded urge than anything. Not knowing drives me nuts. I don't like secrets, I never have. I don't even like getting presents unless they're presented as soon as they're mentioned. I don't like having my mind clouded by wonder and dreaming up the possibilities. If you wanna get me a present then please just keep it a secret until you're giving it to me. Otherwise I just constantly wonder.

no they just have no lives and find joy in knowing others secrets because it makes them feel important for some fucked up reason when ypu care about someone you don't snoop through their stuff you give them respect and space

I'd never snoop through someone's shit and knowing the secrets doesn't make me feel important. I'm just cursed with an intense curiosity. Don't find joy in getting the secrets, and certainly don't enjoy being how I am, but I am who I am. I've questioned everything since I learned to talk.
People have their personal space uninvaded by me, they have every right and ability to refuse to tell me. I'm curious, that's all there is to it. If something's going on, I wanna know what. If they choose to give up the information, they did so of their free will, and if they don't, I'll just have to deal with not knowing.
Yes I'm nosy, but you seem to be generalizing nosy people on one or two encounters with a nosy person and expecting everyone is like the limited sample size you have to go on.

But I am nosy.. When there's something going on between people I know but they won't tell me, it drives me fucking nuts. When someone is trying to hide something, it drives me nuts. I have a burning desire to know what it is, and it will eat me up inside when I don't. I'd say that's text book nosiness. I care too much about other people's lives, I just happen to have boundaries I won't cross. I won't go behind their back to get the info I'm after, I won't go digging through their shit to find what I'm looking for, but I will ask about it, and depending on their resistance, even be persistent in it. I just want to hear it from them.
I was trying to give you insight onto nosy people who are compelled to be so. I am one after all. I really can't help myself. I know there are questions I often shouldn't ask but can't stop myself from doing so. If I don't, the question will sit there right on the tip of my brain just boiling and eating me away til I ask, and in most cases, until I get a satisfactory answer.
It really does suck though. It's a curse plain and simple. I can't just shut it off. No one likes a nosy person and I'm aware of that. I already have troubles 'fitting in' as is, so I have every motivation to not be nosy, yet I still am.

okay well their are varying level obviously this is infinite possibilities we live in im just saying these people are very self centered nosy people. they have to feel involved in everything and it does get annoying. I hope youre not this way. sometimes people need to deal with things on their own and bringing more people into it makes it worse

punch them in the nose. Simple as that! If they do it again, punch harder.
