xOtWiXi answered Thursday March 31 2005, 10:16 pm: She probably doesn't realize that you are uncomfortable, so first make a joke like "Ahh, can you move over a bit, I feel like I can't breathe!" If it keeps up, address the problem again and tell them that you aren't comfortable with being so close. If you need anything, just send me a message! Hope I've Helped! ♥ [ xOtWiXi's advice column | Ask xOtWiXi A Question ]

Laura_Ashanti answered Thursday March 31 2005, 4:31 pm: I think you should say to them that they're making you feel uncomfortable! It sounds to me like they're probably joking around or they dont even realize they're doing it. But say it in a nice way or else you wouldnt be trying to help them out of this habit, you would just be hurting their feelings. Let them know you need your space. Are they affectionate people? Im sure neither of the friends has a crush on you or anything like that or you would Know that they were homosexual or bisexual. Just be calm and talk it out, and give them a warning. ♥ Laura [ Laura_Ashanti's advice column | Ask Laura_Ashanti A Question ]

TheTeenGirl answered Thursday March 31 2005, 1:48 am: The next time you catch them in the act, tell them, (firmly) "Listen, the way you're getting close to is making me upset, and if this continues, I won't even be around you anymore, because you're making me uncomfortable, and I want it to stop." Make sure you keep your word, if they continue to do it, leave. Say it like you mean it, not all scared, say it like you're mad. You have to give them a tone that you're serious.
icey0990 answered Wednesday March 30 2005, 11:36 pm: you were probably like "stop.." in a kinda of calm tone right? well next time..say it louder and firmer so they really get it. Just tell them your sick of them doing that and it makes you really uncomfortable. [ icey0990's advice column | Ask icey0990 A Question ]
