I do have people who say G'day and that i do find that nice and welcoming but their not pushing me to that over smothering triggering point.
Thanks again  |
Your so welcome and thank you
Yeah, this makes sense to me. I'm a big fan of 'less is more'. I'm so grateful to the sort of people who offer a smile and a simple greeting and don't expect or demand more of me, I find them pleasant.
Obviously deeper connections are good too. But if a person demonstrates that they are incapable of leaving me alone when I need to be I drop them. That might not be the healthiest or most mature thing to do. But I feel like if they don't get how important my alone time/boundaries/privacy is- if they don't get that then they don't get me. And I've never been real good- or patient- at explaining myself to people whose personalities contrast mine. Maybe I will work on that.
But anyway, what you are going through is hard. Sounds like the more you try to get what you need- respite- the more they try to wriggle in. I'm sorry, I wish I knew a better way of handling this kind of situation.
