How would you have handled this?

No Soror, you don't have issues. If you do, then so do I.

Speaking of someone invading your space, I had to get a student told one day because he was coming around my desk to look at his profile. AS HE WAS WALKING around to my desk, he decided to ask me "Do you mind?" I told him yes, I did mind because I don't invade his space, and I would appreciate it if he didn't invade mine. Don't know how that went over, neither did I care.

I learned the hard way, just like many others on here, to not let everybody into my little private world. I tend to like to spend time by myself I think because I grew up as an only child, so I learned to be alone (but not necessarily lonely).

I have an exceptionally nosey co-worker that asks questions like "Why do you want an SUV?", when I mentioned that I wanted one. I don't care if gas gets up to $5.00/gallon, that doesn't stop me from WANTING one. Don't I have the option to want what I want? And secondly, I asked her for not one red cent toward my blackToyota Sequoia!

You let in your little space who you want to let in when you want to let them in. If they don't like it, well then tough ______ said the kitty, and the milk is sour too (fill in the blank)!
