ChainedExistence -> RE: Invading my Personal Space (7/13/2007 11:37:21 AM)

I never got all bent out of shape over the pregnant belly touching thing...mostly it was sweet old ladies anyway, and they were more or less motherly about the whole thing. Besides, when I wasn't sick as a dog, I was really happy about being pregnant and I'm sure my happy demeanor drew people in, too. As for a drunk in a bar...I wouldn't be happy about the touching, but I'd be the one distancing myself from where he was instead makig a big scene or hoping my date woud give him the ole' 1-2 knockout punch. Of course, this is part of the reason I don't frequent bars. I never found hanging out in a place with lots of drunk people to be all that fun anyway. I do understand that many people are very sensitive about being touched in any way though, and being a very "touchy-feely, huggy" sort of girl myself, I often have to restrain from doing so with people I don't know well. Everyone is entitled to have their space respected.
