OVERLY COMFORTABLE

I don’t have the best social skills out there but I have enough to be civil and interactive with the world out there. I am finding however that certain people and all these people I have had such experiences with are black, are overly comfortable being too comfortable with strangers. I don’t like being touched, generally speaking. Even the people who are close to me sometimes when they touch me unexpectedly I can react not in a positive way but a negative- why are you in my space way. It's something I find I do. You can imagine my disgust and perplexity when a stranger finds nothing wrong with extending their filthy hands towards my body. I just do not get what kind of social etiquette it is to touch people one has just met. The fact that I have a tattoo that is sometimes visible just aggravates the chances of me being so violated. People just tend to think it's okay to touch my tattoo and ask me what it means. Total strangers I mean. I get you see it, I also see your hair, eyes, horrible outfit but no one sees me walking around touching their fabrics and telling them they feel like quality or fonkong do they!? People just need to chill, I get we are all humans and humanity towards each other is essential but please let's keep to our space. Part of social skills is knowing when to stay in your lane. It's much like liking to know other people's business when really the details of their lives will do very little to the quality of your own life. #PawsOff. A good example is also men who go about grabbing people's hands, especially women in an attempt to shela them. These men really need to learn how to get a woman's attention because their behaviour of hand grabbing is rude and authoritative on women's sovereignty.

Also people who think just because I am short I can be used a a support structure must fall too. They always act very surprised when you refuse to indulge them like you were made short for the sole purpose of their being able to lean on you. These people must fall I swear- I have no respect or patience for such characters in fact, I abhor them. And then there are those people who will greet you like a decent person upon first meet; but they never stop there, they go on to want to know where you stay, where you are going, your number, everything really that they can use to find you. My thing here is there are just places where the people who congregate there are just too random for anything. For all you know you could be giving your details to a stalker, killer or rapist. The world is full of sick bastards out there so people please don’t give me a stank eye because I refused to tell you where I was going, it's not in my best interests to do so. Talk about the weather or the news then I can engage you fully but anything personal, wooo shem! I will not divulge. I speak from experience as I almost had a fatal encounter on the account of trusting a stranger who seemed harmless. But then again I must say observe where you are ( location) and pay very strict attention to what they say about themselves. Any gut feeling that tells you to not trust a stranger who looks harmless, listen very attentively and find a quick escape. As a people I feel we just need to learn boundaries.
