Things strangers say to you that make you uncomfortable

NAS72287

I was unlocking my bike yesterday and a guy said "I was gonna take that".  I knew he was trying to be funny, but there was something in his tone that grew me off.  It sounded too boisterous for me. I'm just sensitive to it, especially from people I don't know.

  • I know it’s not a “stranger”, but it used to pee me off when my boss would make the effort to come to my office to say “have you got time for a chat” (instant anxiety) Obviously I would say yes, only for him to reply, “ok good I’ll give you a shout tomorrow and we can catch up”. Followed my no sleep, borderline panic attack. It would then turn out he literally wanted a chat, about nothing!!
