Weekend Engagement 256//What Makes Me Angry, Annoyed and Upset//Invading My Privacy

Last week, I talked about myself on last week topic "who are you", and I made mentioned of how I can be a little emotionally unstable and get angry easily.

One thing that makes me angry, upset, and annoyed easily is when someone invades or tempers with my privacy. I cherish my privacy so much, its very important to me. Some of the things I cherished most is my personal or physical space and most importantly my communication space.

Firstly, when it comes to my physical space, I love spending time privately, studying, mediating, reflecting on myself, or performing any task. When you invade my privacy, especially when I'm having any of my daily routine, you distract me from whatever I'm doing and that's really annoying to me.

I love my privacy to the point if a friend come to visit me and probably want to stay for some time or days, they will have to tell me how long they plan on staying and if the time or days are due, if not for any serious or important reason that they may need to extend their stay, I'm sorry but they will have to leave otherwise I might start feeling very uncomfortable.

Most times I stay in my room from morning to evening without stepping out especially if I'm working on my PC. Whenever I'm working and someone walked into the room without permission and any reason for walking in, it distract me from what I'm doing and I might get me annoyed.

Secondly, I get angry when people invade my communication space. I have some friends that always want to know who I'm talking with on phone, what I'm doing, even when its none of their business. When you are checking my phone without asking for permission, going through my messages, chats, listening to my private conversations, going through my things, it's upset me. You should ask for permission before going through my stuff.

Several times I've given people my phone to see may be a picture, just a picture and they end scrolling to see other things in my phone, in this case, when I noticed that you are crossing your boundaries, I collect my phone from your hand immediately, not because I'm hiding any bad stuff from you which I dont keep any bad stuffs in my phone, but because I keep sensitive items like documents, screen shot of different pass phrase and several items in my phone. You invading my privacy, you may end up seeing sensitive document that are not might to be seen by everyone.

Due to the nature of my work, I work with data's a lot and most time I save them on my phone or PC, so you going through my phone or PC without asking me for permission is wrong to me and makes me angry.

I believe that everyone, no matter the age, deserves to have their own space and privacy therefore, respecting boundaries is important.
