How do you react when someone stands very close to you during a conversation and invades your personal space?

  • I will take a step back to create space for myself.
  • I will stay standing, but I feel uncomfortable.
  • I will use touch, such as a pat on the shoulder, to gently indicate boundaries.
  • I will start focusing more on the nonverbal cues of that person to understand their intentions.
  • I quickly change the topic or situation to get out of it.
