I often find that people I do not know are inappropriately personal with me… I often feel like I have had a personal boundary violated in these instances
Eg. I wear coloured lenses that look completely natural. Also because of the fact that I have olive skin my light eyes look even more unusual.
So when I am at the supermarket or the store asking the sales assistant where the milk is for eg I find it really inappropriate when they say 'is that your natural eye colour'
If it was my friend or a workmate I can understand why they would ask but it's really annoying when it is a randomness stranger.
It is always sales assistants that I take offence to eg one also said to me 'You look so tired ' and smirked
I find it really inappropriate for them to talk about me personally
I don't know how to react assertively in these situations and what to say?
It better still how to stop them from saying it to me in the first place.
