The idea is to make your self completely unattractive in their mind. Because it starts off on this note, you have to be 100% honest with yourself and make sure there isn't a part of your ego that isn't wanting this attention. When you are sure that is not the case, the next thing to out rule is any unconscious body language you are sending out by becoming more aware of the body language you can send out which denotes, "These are my boundaries". Look up google or get body language for dummies. It shows how to stand properly, which stances convey submissive, which stands covey you know your own space and the book is written by a female.
Touching your body and cloths is not acceptable, nor is making you back up until your against the wall. These are clearly people who are boundary dysfunctional, dangerous, crazy etc. I'm sorry but normal people do not do these things.
If someone ever invades your space, you can end the conversation and walk away. In the adult world no one has endure such bad manners like that, and that is exactly what they are, bad filthy mannered. If this has been happening to you since you were 12 years old then at some point you have to realise it i snot something you should ever just have to put up with.
Because of your young age, I'm going to say, never let a persons age or demur or what they say about themselves make you think you have to stay there and listen to them. You have the right to tell anyone to F off or mind their own business.
On an energy level, i believe like attracts like, if something becomes a prevalent issue that repeats and repeats and repeats, then in my experience it does suggest that something is not being managed or listened too. First place to check is the ego. If you 'aware', empathic type, it could simply be your energy attracts unstable people. If you suspect this has a a part to play then you need to work on your empathic filters and re program your energy field, shield and dial it down a notch with the intention that only those who are 'respectful and balanced' may notice you on all levels. It may sound dumb but if you are energy /emapthic aware it is not dumb at all. You can make your self appear subconsciously invisible to those you don't want to be noticed by and vice versa.
I know plenty of other sensitives who would agree with me that fine tuning and learning to gage what level of shielding and filtering is necessary so you can have a relatively 'normal time' when you do go out in public is normal to go through, but important to learn for your own sake. Before i learned to do that, I used to attract a certain kind of crazy (not sleazy people thank god) but aggressive people, people looking to fight and hi - jack taxis and whatnot, when ever i went out in public too, and i got so sick of it I wanted to become reclusive. I learned it was my energy amping others and amplifying their natural traits, which is good when it's good people around, but bad when it's morons around.
No, I certainly don't want or need attention like this. People want to be liked to some degree generally, and I'm no different, but if I can have a few friends who mutually and truly care about me and enjoy my company, that's just about perfect for me. I do try making a point of looking at myself and what role I may be playing in something, and I don't think my body language would be percieved by most as submissive, or too forward for that matter. I'll strike up a casual conversation now and then when I'm waiting in line somewhere, so I'm comfortable being outgoing to other people, but I don't invade their space, I am careful about that.
Age, demure, social status, wealth, what they say, I never let something like that affect my interactions with them beyond a reasonable level. I don't go slapping my boss around or anything at work, but especially with the kind of situation I grew up in, I've learned to have no problem respectfully questioning anyone, authority or not, when and where I feel it's warranted. Confidence in handling this isn't an issue, and I have no problem physically removing someone from my space if need be. I'm assertive with my words first, but if I truly feel threatened I'll manage that the best way I can otherwise. In fact I had an issue today with a client at my work. He got too pushy, and aggressive, and he pushed it further when I told him he needed to stop, to the point where I did feel threatened, so when he went to grab me I grabbed his outstretched arm instead and put him in a sort of hold until he calmed down.
I have been told I have a "magnetic personality", and that I'm empathic, so maybe that's it. Now and then when I'm in public I take a look at myself and try to look at my body language, how I'm dressed, how I'm presenting myself, etc etc, objectively. I honestly don't think it's any of that, and maybe I'm wrong, or others see something I don't, but anyway it's not an issue of being incapable of handling myself and how I interact with others, it's just a matter of that it gets annoying having to deal with stupid men who try persistently to pick me up, figuratively speaking. If he or she polite and not pushy, I can easily say something along the times of "Thank you, but I'm not interested." If a person approaches me in just a friendly and casual manner, I usually won't turn down a good conversation if the timing isn't bad, and even if they do make a move on me a little too "forwardly", I have every capability to turn them down, but I'm just looking for a quicker, more pain-free way to do so. Thanks to everyone who's opted to give me their advice and 2 cents on the matter.
