She then didn't say anything and seemed to feel a bit affronted. I really need to practice setting my boundaries in situations like that. I felt so shaky afterwards, but part of me says it was a reasonable request, and another part of me says I was rude. I know I have a 'right' to speak up if something makes me very uncomfortable. I don't have to be 'walked all over'. The trouble is that I am more easily made uncomfortable due to my past, and my discomfort makes others feel unwelcome a lot. I really haven't got that sussed yet.
