When I am stressed out at work I tend to get angry at people but cant express it there. So when I go home I want some alone time to calm down but usually I get calls from my parents or friends ( or they come over since i live alone ) and keep nagging me whats wrong whats wrong and I usually shout at them (which I regret later)
They just cant seem to understand the word can you leave me alone for some time .
I dont like talking about my problems with others ( i usually dont talk much at all ) but lately they dont back off. I mean ok I know they are worried but sometimes that makes things worse.

Maybe this is when Facebook becomes useful sometimes.

Status: "All of you, stop calling my cell or coming over to my house it's making me more pissed. Just give me some time alone for now, then I'll be fine. Thanks."

Considering that my last status was 8 july 2014 they would like really get worried then .

As you said, they're worried about you. If venting about your problems makes you feel better, find someone you can unload it at (not all at once, and don't go to them just because of this. That's a rude move). You don't like talking about your problems though, as you mentioned, so just be plain and honest. Tell them you really appreciate their concern but that you need to deal with this on your own. If they still don't listen, and since they're parents they probably still will nag at you, then instead of shouting just walk out on them and explain afterwards that it's not helping for them to worry.

Hope it all gets sorted out, and I'm by no means the best at giving advice lol. Just said what was on my mind, really. What I would have done.

I find that this method always work really well for me or you could just tell them that you need some time alone and you would prefer that they do not interfere.

Tell them you're about to have sex. Fixed the problem.

Ignore the phone and the doorbell during those moments. People will learn to call ahead before they visit and you can always check the phone to see who is calling before you decide if you want to answer or not.

And no, this is not rude. At least I do not consider it so.

Hmmm, maybe you could walk away! But honestly, you should just talk to them, they are only nagging you like that, because they care about you a lot. That's a good thing!

Tell them they're not helping you. They're helping themselves. In a low way.

It happens to me sometimes.

Tell them, but in a calm voice that yes you're stressed out and feel like shit. Talking about it won't help you know though. What will help you is that they'll give you some peace and quiet.

They don't nag you out of malice. Show them that leaving you alone will calm them down and, if they're rational, they'll let you go.

I'm exactly the same as you. it can be frustrating, but the best thing to do is getting people to understand you need some space. Sometimes people dont really understand that its easier for you to solve your stress and problems alone. You should just try explaining that to them.
