is it terrible of me to say at this point I don’t want a proposal because everyone has an opinion on how my boyfriend is going to do it? and that i don’t want anyone there because i want it to be private

No, it’s you and your boyfriend’s proposal, don’t let anyone affect you on it. I also want a private one to take off the pressure and make it less like a show

I’m trying not to, but honestly it’s hard because hearing it constantly is making me overwhelmed.

set a boundary: firmly and politely state that you’re uncomfortable talking about it due to the pressure / anticipation, and would prefer not to every time it comes up, and if it doesn’t stop then walk away. i understand completely

It’s at the point I’m going to have too. Hopefully, it works when I set the boundary.

👏👏👏 and if it doesn’t, walking away is a perfectly acceptable response to your voice being disregarded, and you shouldn’t be afraid to.
