I don’t want to be touched by anyone I don’t like, it’s negative energy.
Exactly...there are these gossipy women at my work and they are legitimately awful human beings yet they insist on trying to befriend me...2.5 years after I've shown no interest. They do not respect boundaries and will feign kindness if it means learning even the most insignificant detail about your life and it makes me want to retch.@cherokeepatti

@AnonymouslyYours Do you tell them not to do it?
It happened once, but just the recollection of it makes me wish I'd bathed in holy water afterwards. I do my best to never be in the same vicinity so as to allow no opportunity for a repeat offense. Subtlety hasn't served me well in the past.@cherokeepatti

@AnonymouslyYours There used to be an evil gossipy woman at Harvard Pilgrim. I was out having surgery, and the evil witch came up to me and implied that I had just been out goofing off. I had just had my stitches out, and the incision was still very raw looking, so instead of speaking, I just lifted up my shirt. She ran off like a whipped dog.
People like this are the absolute worst...always assuming the worst of others because they're shit human beings. I'm sorry you had to deal with such an insecure, busy body-jackass.@4meAndyou
