People don’t usually get mad when you “set boundaries” (when you tell them you don’t need help, etc.) They get mad when you get mad. Unfortunately you can’t always control that. I would apologize for getting mad. Since you walked off, it’s on you. You don’t have to explain - less is better. I’m not good at that either, but they just want to feel like things are ok. That probably means putting up with them being bossy, and accepting that they are bossy. You don’t have to do what they say. Bossy people drive me nuts, but part of the reason is that I take them too seriously. They’re just busybodies. The best thing is to have a sense of humor about it, but that can be hard.
