It’s cost me every job I ever had and my current one is in jeopardy
Ruby, you need to learn to accept and respect other people's boundaries and that no means no.

I'm not sure that it's possible for you to understand anyone's reasons, but you certainly can respect someone's boundaries when they establish them and that no means no, and while you may have questions, you are not entitled to answer. If someone wants to be left alone, you need to do so without question.

I recommend you ask your therapist about DBT and distress tolerance so you can work on respecting people's boundaries without stalking or getting in trouble.
