I enjoyed having my friends here sometimes--- it makes the place feel comfortable and warm---but this is my home, not a party house. I was old enough to move out on my own, so why can’t I ask my friends to respect my privacy?(私人空间) Joan Dear Joan, If your family didn’t pay attention to your needs when you were old, you probably have trouble letting others know your needs now. And if you’ve gathered your friends around to rebuild a happy family atmosphere(气氛), you may fear that saying so will bring back the kind of conflict you grew up with---or destroy the nice atmosphere you now enjoy. You need to understand that in true friendship it’s ok to put your own needs first from time to time. Be clear about the message you want to send. For example, “I really love your company but I also need some privacy. So please call before you come over.” Edward 1. We can learn from the first letter that Joan________.
