I try to allow that people to be themselves and express themselves until it imposes upon me and my space. At that point, I will define my boundaries for them by simply telling them that what they are doing is not acceptable for me and if they can’t understand that and cease their behavior, I will tell them once more and then distance myself and my involvement with them.
there are actually so many examples of how bothering someone is, which determines what kind of reaction I'd take. one instance when I was in college, my senior kept touching me on my shoulder or patting my head (no he didn't have any feelings toward me, he's just annoying af) that caused me feel extremely uncomfortable around him. I didn't confront but showed him that I was no longer interested in befriending him. I stopped talking and cut him off. another example someone was bothering me so much like out of this world and all I did was confront and let my anger out. that was the one and only time in my life I was being the most most rude person ever existed.
