Cringe
You know, there is an actual reason for the fact that all of the smart help-yourself books on assertiveness mention such a thing as 'personal space'.
If you move n-times closer to me and I move n+1-times away from you, you should consider to get the message.
Seriously. I am all in for physical contact and that, but if I have no desire for a mid-life-crisised creep accompanied by a sweaty glittering forehead and a shopping cart full of junk breathing in my neck, do not stand so close to me. Just do not. Certainly it is rude to ask politely within a joke so that you do not have to feel embarrassed in front of the other people around, I apologize ... it was necessary, though; otherwise, I would have to have hit you.
I hate when people do that. Why do people do that ? Why would anyone even want to stand close to someone who obviously does not want them close ? I do not believe she did not notice; she could not not notice; everyone in the perimeter of 10 m noticed my stress and panicky attempts to flee. I hate to be touched by strangers, even accidentally ... (and did I have some good training at avoiding that in my youth years; memories of the good ole' PC adventures of an 'East-block' capital city). And I just saw it happen, so I stress out and try to get away, and she would not pay attention ...
Brrr. Though genuinely nauseated, back in the safety of my room again. I think that was it for today in regards of daring to venture out. No, no, the world is a place too vile for me; all sorts of things happen out there.
