Burst Bubble

It seems that everyone is crowding into my space lately. Yesterday in the men’s lavatory someone used the urinal right next to mine instead of skipping one. At the gym, in a row of 20 empty elliptical machines, a guy chooses the one right next to me. That guy should learn some bathroom etiquette.

The countless bubble-bursting tailgaters on the road, the people standing too close behind me in line and the close-talkers I meet are starting to wear me down. Is it normal to want others to keep their distance from me? These are things my therapist and I will discuss this week.
