    I'm curious about your age. I'm 45. When I was in my 20's, I had problems with confrontation, too, but as I've aged, had kids, gotten busy, etc..., I've come to the conclusion that life's too short to put up with people like this. Good for you for standing up for yourself and demanding your right to be left alone. And that life coach claim? I all BS. Sounds more like A$$pberger's to me.

    I'm early 30's, formerly very shy as a teen but less so through my twenties. And yeah, I've not got kids but I can imagine they propel you to be more forthright with stuff! I'm ok most of the time, but with persistent stranger confrontation not so much!

    And ditto on him having some kind of social problem...

    Imagine how nice life woulda been if you had adopted this way of thinking years ago, when you first learned to speak.
    Its so freeing.
    I highly recommend it.

    It would have saved me a lot of hassle for sure, and school would have been a darn sight more enjoyable!

    Here here!

    Ha!!

    Okay between this and the gym manager creep thread I am convinced the Zombie Apocalypse has started. This is phase 1 where they case out the joint and prod their first intended dinners for fightbackishness. Fight back ladies, Fight back....pour Tapatio Sauce liberally all over yourselves!
    I'm on it.

    Damn... If Walking Dead has taught me anything, it's that confrontation skills are paramount in the zombie apocalypse...

    Good for you! I hate when people don't respect your decisions, especially when it comes to wanting to be left alone. Also, who says stuff like that, as in you have abandonment issues? That is odd..

    Dude sounds like a crushing bore. Congrats on not punching him, which must have been tempting.
