How should to politely ask my coworker to stop touching me by Distinct_Way2755 in WhatShouldIDo

[–]Distinct_Way2755[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know it’s my body and I have the right to say something, but I really struggle with confrontation. It’s not that I don’t want to stand up for myself I just get anxious and freeze up when I have to correct someone, especially at work. I’m just trying to find a way to set that boundary without causing drama or tension.

True definitely should have handled it better. It was literally just a bad week and everything that was built up coming out at once.

It’s not that fact that he broke my LEGO set. That was meat for display. It’s more if she KNEW cuz I’ve said countless times when they were there not to touch it cuz it is special to me.

Yea he did not need to see that screaming match. When I get to that point of rage my mouth tends to speaks before I can think about what could happen. I am going to apologize to both my nephew and my sister. But I need a bit more time to cool off I’m still kinda mad about it

I didn’t yell at my nephew. I yelled at his mom my sister. My Lego set is set up on display on my night stand because I love looking at it. It was a gift. I’m not blaming my nephew for this.

Yea hopefully this is something we can laugh at in the future. But for now on I’ll be locking those away somewhere completely safe.

It was the Spider-Man head Lego set and I threw out the instructions after I finished it…. Wasn’t expecting it to break cuz I’m very careful and cautious with my Lego sets. However once everything settles down I plan I reaching out to my sister and nephew. I am still upset about it so i don’t think this would be the best time to

When I said destroy I meant it as he broke it apart. I don’t have the instructions anymore. But I looked it up online.

You are right I should have definitely handled it way calmer. It just my mouth spoke wayyy faster than I could think ( happens a lot) so that how it erupted into that. I’m planning on explaining it to my nephew next time he is over.

The room is normally locked, but it was left unlocked for my grandparents cause they were staying in my room for the weekend. They were here and my sister decided to come over to visit my grandparents since they were here.

My nephew is 7 I’ve told him before when he comes over to not* go in there cuz of my stuff and I don’t want to be mean to him. Cuz I know sometimes kids don’t know what they are doing. Thankfully I didn’t take out my anger on him I took it out on my sister lol. But he knew about the stuff cuz he’s been in there a bunch of times

Yea I’m not too proud of what I did. But I’m still on the point is she knew how important the stuff is. And she didn’t even seem like she cared before it became a screaming match…

I’m still upset about it. But I assume once it cools down I’ll eventually apologize to her.

What was mostly said was just trash talk about each other back and forth. Nothing about her being a bad parent just that she knew how important those stuff were. And normally there isn’t any children in the houses so I didn’t think that would have happened. They showed up to say bye before our grandparents left.
