Picture this: You are sleeping late in the morning, even though your parents have called you for breakfast like a zillion times (and eventually also for lunch) or your friends are calling you and you can hear a distant buzz of your phone muffled under a layer of strategically placed pillows - you want nothing else in the world but to sleep right through these distractions - but you cannot. You are an ungrateful child and a careless friend. You let the guilt get to you, you think that you are actually being a wretch and you leave the comfortable confines of your bed. But, stop right there - you do not have to get out after all! You turn around the guilt which these people are putting on you and tell them that it is actually they who are encroaching on your "space"!
And life would be perfect for you. A kid cousin might be getting bored to death at home and give you a SOS call with the hope that you would take him out for a movie. But you might want to be a couch potato and watch some quality TV (whatever that is) - thats when you drop the bomb - kiddo you are stepping on my space, back off. There, you are sorted.
You might be watching an absolutely nonsensical movie when someone calls and wants you to be his agony aunt, no please, spare me, give me my space!
Try it.
