I don't mind if they're trying to engage in a little small talk like how I'm doing that day, and "Oh it's a beautiful day outside.". But with me, I hate when they ask me personal questions. And when I say personal, I mean really fucking personal stuff that I honestly don't know why they wanna know so bad. Like if I'm a virgin. And if it's not that kind of personal, then its some other stupid meaningless information that they wanna know.
A lot of people at my work ask me about my outside life, and what I do when I'm not at work. I think to myself, why do they care so much? I really hate it when its people who I don't even really know, or ever really talk to that ask me this stuff. And if I tell them that I go to school, they wanna know every little detail. What my major is, what school it is, what other classes I take, do I party a lot, where I live, if the commute is long or short, etc. POINTLESS stuff. Oh! And I love this one, "Where are you from?", "What school did you graduate from?", "Whens your birthday?". And honestly, questions like that normally don't get under my skin, but lately it's been bothering me because the people who ask me this stuff I barely know, and they're just doing it to be nosey(I think). I have people come into my work who I don't even see on a regular basis and they ask me what my nationalities are. Why? Do I look like I could be from another country or something? I don't know why they wanna know so bad. In fact, I was also asked the other day, what kind of bed I sleep in. And it sounds like I'm kidding you, but I'm not. I had to ask another coworker if there was some kind of inside joke going around about me. She said she hadn't heard anything. Seriously, WTH??
Oh, here's a good example of what I think you could do if people get too brazen. My friend when she was moving, one of her neighbors who never bid her family the time of day, just randomly started talking to her mom out of the blue. But she only started talking to her because she wanted to know where they were moving to. Can you believe that? Well, when the woman asked my friends mom said, "We're moving to Africa." (That was a lie.) The woman, didn't know whether to smile or what the hell to think. She had a blank expression on her face, and she didn't know what to say. She was just like, "Oo okay...". People sometimes don't realize when they've crossed the line.
Don't become too anti social, but know what information to give, and what information to keep to yourself. Like when those people asked me if I was a virgin or not. Thats something thats none of anyones business, unless we're dating, or I'm close enough with them where they can know.
I had a person ask me about a medical condition once, and they kept prodding. I barely knew this person. I had to be very abrupt and just say "it's personal"...they still didn't get it.
IIN that I dislike people that feel a need to get close to me?
