Why do the members keep doing unsolicited personal visits???

General Discussion

I'm crying right now lol I just can't anymore. I'm part of the YW class but I don't really attend classes/activities. I am not part of the "religious persona club" or whatever they are. I feel trapped because there is no one I can call for help.

There is an activity ongoing in the church right now, and I don't live far from it (which sucks). YW members keep visiting our house without any warning or heads up. They usually invite me for activities or ask how I'm doing. I appreciate the gesture, but I do NOT need nor want it. I don't even know their names!!! And they think that spreading the gospel is effective through randomly appearing at our door? It is soooo intrusive (to me) because the times they visited are when I'm eating, showering, resting from school, etc. It pushes the time I have for myself to go and talk to them, disregarding my state. I hate it. A LOT. Living in an Asian household doesn't help either. My dad isn't even religious, yet he gets mad at me for not wanting to participate in the church. I hate my situation and as much as I want to get released, I can't. I can't handle talking to other people under pressure. No one seems to understand that it's not their "acts of service" that I'm annoyed at, it's the not-understanding-boundaries part. They can go ahead and tell me that I'm overreacting but when you're trying to have some time for yourself and have people allow themselves to disturb your peace, you just get fed up. Even told my mom that I'd worship a different being just so they can leave me alone.

(TIMESKIP) I'm at a member's house with my little sister right now, atleast someone I know is here.
