Stop stalking me!

Some people just buzz behind you like an annoying bee...hehe...no matter what you say or do, they still stalk you to eternity. Whether you move houses or change countries they will be right under or over your nose...lol! Do you have anyone like this in your life? Well I have :) You just can't seem to take a break from them 'cos they are omnipresent. I don't mean in a nasty way but I do need a break even from my loved-ones sometimes...we all do right? Well some people don't know how to keep that personal space...I mean not be so nosy or curious about what is going on in my life, what clothes I am wearing now, which shampoo I am currently using to even why can't I make it to that lunch! If I can't, I just can't right? Get it?? Obviously not - duh I should have given up on you when ABBA was around (Keshi rolls her eyes...). But some people do it because they love and care for you too much...but even then, don't you think they should respect personal space and decisions? We all need to be alone sometimes and we all need personal space 'cos as much as we are made to be with one another, we are also selfish beings..hehehe I mean in a healthy way. We need the freedom to be left alone every now and then. I have a friend who I think is composing an encyclopedia on me...cos even if I was having a shower and couldnt answer the phone, his next question would be 'how come you didnt make an effort to answer that call?' Ok so I was supposed to run in my hallway like a drenched maniac, trip over the carpet and fall flat on my face yet answer his call with a beautiful smile? And if I can't make it to a party/trip, he would ask 'why can't you come, I mean why can't you...what made you not be there?'...wtf am I supposed to give a mechanical engineering 1011 analysis on my decison to him! I had another friend (yes, 'had' cos I dumped her lol) who always wanted me to understand her no matter how dumb her deeds were and she used to force me to be anywhere on Earth that she will be in the next 24hrs...even if that meant I had to starve my brains out at the Krispy Kreme outlet until she arrived about an hour later. Worse, she wouldnt take' No' for an answer and if I can't make it, she will b###h about it for the next 91 days...duhh good bye Tamara, I need a permanent vacation from you.

It happens even with strangers in your day to day life. Another personal space crisis took place at the Chemists'. A lady walked up to me and asked 'how may I help you maam?' and she asked that by nearly kissing me..lol...her face was far too close to my face and I was wondering if she just came out of the Mardi Gras parade. I took a step back and said 'no thanks, I'm just looking around...' and ofcourse I walked out. Have you noticed when you go into clothing shops, how some shop assistants stand next to the fitting rooms asking too many unwanted questions...it's too annoying that you just want to leave without even trying the clothes on. I went to a bra-shop and this lady was nearly inside my fitting room asking this and that, like how does it fit you, do you want me to help you...eeeeks...I was so disgusted and ofcourse I left - their loss :)

My point is even though you mean the best for the people you care about or even your customers or whoever it is you're dealing with, please know that personal space and freedom of choice is very important for an indivdual. Don't poke your nose into every business of the person you are dealing with. And don't force people to be what you want them to be or do as you command and please stop irritating them with infinite questions and nose rubbing. Everyone is different and everyone needs their space both physically and mentally. So next time respect that and oh, when you speak to someone, please leave about a meter off the other person's face...'cos it kind of makes people go squint and dizzy.

So do you know of any people who instantly climbed up on your head and made it their permanent address?
