People who put their finger too near your face when pointing

OP oh my god. Omg. Yes it's like literally reading my mind. It's something I hate beyond belief n trust me it is done on purpose bc in my experience telling them to get their finger out of your face n personal space etc blah blah blah just encourages more of it. It's a usually extremely lonely n desperate person who does this space invasion n they like to make everyone feel like a sl*t around them so they do it? Dude idk but I've physically threatened two if them

Infuriating beyond belief. Only the most desperately lonely agitators do this I observe. Yuck. I have smacked ones hand but it does not deter him. N of course it's nearly always men. Yay. I think they need to get attention or something but I hate it so much n it does not get better no matter what I do. So yes they are doing it on purpose. They'll ignore you completely if you tell them stop or move their hand or smack it etc. Then do it again 2 seconds later n then completely ignore your obvious violation n discomfort frustration disgust amazement etc. I would never stick a finger in someone's face like that just to tell them to look at something. It's completely creepy n unnecessary. N it's done to make those around them feel like sl*ts. Gross

 

Omg. Ok I'm trying to actually write a comment here. And it's not easy. Idk if it's my phone...but dm. Okay op firstly yes I have had these same encounters yes it's bad. Some are worse than others but yes it's done deliberately n here's what I notice. People who violate your space like this are very very lonely, extremely and shockingly desperate AND clingy people. N no in my own experience confronting it does not help AT ALL bc they are all narcissists n it's done w the knowledge that it's happening I mean lol how can you NOT lol know you're violating space. It's not necessary to stick a finger in someone's face n I've never n would never think of such a thing but they aren't normal.

 

Nobody sticks their fingers in my face, I feel left out. Worse I talk with my eyes, I thought most people talked with their eyes perhaps I need help?

 

I'm not sure if it's narcissistic to point at someone other than themselves. To say it is intended points closely at the trouble facing us as we move towards a more integrated social structure.

 

I would knock them out.

 

If it were someone I knew well, I’d politely move their hand and say excuse me but. If it were someone acting in anger I’d make a move to create distance and prepare to defend, which I’m capable of.

 

Just put some mustard on it & whip out a bun, and when they say WTF just answer “Oh sorry I thought you were offering”

 

Say what you want, point your finger to your hearts content, I don’t care, just don’t touch me. Once you do that, then you are in the wrong.

 

nope. not the same thing at all. (evil is not an identity. it is a form of behavior. aggressive inconsiderateness is that form of behavior)
and yes, can, sometimes, sometimes still not entirely voluntary not to. its something you can kind of program yourself to learn and be able to over time.

and yes, what may in some contexts have started out as humor, seem to have become the culture that claims to conserve while conserving nothing.
that is the creeping autocratism that is degrading the kind of world we all have to live in, including those who thing they are doing the world a favor by messing the quality of life for others.
