@missy meier: Some imaginative techniques might help. If someone is extremely annoying I would sit somewhere else. But I also dislike it to be the one who goes. Sometime ago, I use to mark my prescence by saying something sarcastic,being witty and showing that I have the power. I do like to be seen as a powerful person. But this is just a show and doesnt really work. To really ask myself: How do I feel? What do I need today?
