Boundaries and Personal Space

Daily writing prompt
What bothers you and why?

The thing that bothers me the most is when people invade my personal space.

I am somebody that does not like when my physical or mental boundaries are breached as they trigger my anxiety. I have explained this to many people. However, the response that I got was people making fun of me. I am not a touchy-feely person and I do not like it when someone touches me without my consent. It takes me a lengthy amount of time to be comfortable around people before letting them come into my personal space.

The irritation or frustration is at its peak when people who know I do not like my personal space being invaded still do it just for the sheer sake of it. There are times when I need people to just stay away from me and understand that there are days when I have extra boundaries and it is something that is extremely important to me.

      This is the sad reality, not a lot of people understand this.
