yes you sound peeved to me Jewels and i think its fine to assert yourself and express your inner needs and feelings this way.. i can understand not being heard or feeling unconsidered... i think you've described effectively how frustrating (ok, maddening) it is when our personal spaces are violated unkindly.. my hackles rise in that type situation too... letting others know, in terms that are understandable, as in 'person to person' works for me, without the insulting language.. you're right, we all do matter .... i hope getting your thoughts out here is helping...
