My Space


Back off, will ya?
Give me some space.
You're stifling me.
Not letting me think.
And even though you may be right,
Right now, I feel like
Doing the opposite
Of what you think
Just to spite you.
And though in reality,
I'd only be hurting myself,
I need the space
To contemplate
On my own.
Without you asking me questions
Or giving me answers.
Just
give
me
my
space.
Please?

Ok, ok, I know when I'm not wanted... sheesh...
:-P

Seriously, though, I think the worst part is when you have to run so much farther than you would have, just to get that space... Some people just don't get that... :-(

...or they don't get hints. Like "Just - go - away" isn't obvious enough. ;-)

I often resort to, "I'm not going to listen so don't bother talking."

Some people, like me are a bit thick, we don't mean to sufforcate you and if u'd tell us we'd move double quick...we just don't chap hints ;)

I know the feeling, but I've also been on the other side. I try to stay aware of when the other person needs/wants me to back off and hope that I'm right...
