I need my space. You must simply never encroach into it. I love you tremendously and would do as much for you as I can, but you must leave me my place… . I don’t want you to leave your bag in it for 20 min, or re-arrange my furniture or give me advice on what to do with my time. I want you essentially be transparent, occupy as little place as possible and breathe as little air as possible, and make VERY LITTLE noise. Don’t change my TV channel, or lean over when I am typing on my laptop. Don’t use or borrow my things, even if I haven’t used them in 10 years. You see these are my things, and this is my space.
I am really glad of your company and your love, I just can’t stand you too close. And if you must enter my space, please tidy up after yourself and leave everything in its place, nice and clean.
