Good morning, my name is Gu Daoxifeng, and I am a heart exploration coach.
Despite the prevailing notion of equality in today's society, the concepts and practices surrounding inheritance remain a point of contention. This discrepancy does not stem from the question asker's actions.
The book Men Are From Venus, Women Are From Mars explains the differences in the thinking of men and women. What the questioner finds offensive may not be a significant issue to her husband. Additionally, men and women may have different boundaries for what they can tolerate, so they cannot empathize with the questioner. This is not the fault of the questioner.
When the original poster was at school, he/she provided feedback to his/her grandparents. Their generation may be relatively conservative in their thinking. One may feel that this is dishonorable and hope to minimize the matter; the other may be more sociable and not feel that this kind of small action is that serious. It is not the original poster's fault.
Perhaps it would be beneficial to consider these issues from a different perspective.
The questioner is learning to write with a brush, and the teacher's teaching is too "personal" and makes the questioner feel uncomfortable. Could it be because of the teacher's professional habits? They are indeed teaching children, and my sister-in-law also teaches children to draw. It is true that he will correct the posture of the child and guide the way the child holds the brush. It may not be ill-intentioned, but the questioner feels uncomfortable, and it is reasonable to ask to stop and leave. After all, the purpose of learning is to be happy.
The colleague of the original poster's husband made physical contact with the original poster and initiated a conversation after consuming alcohol. It is unclear whether he would behave similarly in a sober state. I have a relative who displays a tendency to engage in prolonged conversations with strangers when under the influence of alcohol, indicating a lack of self-control. If the original poster were to go to the bathroom, would her husband still engage in such behaviour?
If the concern is simply that this person may have a poor drinking habit, it is not a deliberate attack on the original poster. The original poster may not have cause for concern, and there is no problem with maintaining a distance to protect oneself.
My colleague's husband wants to add the original poster to his contacts. Since there is no conclusive evidence, the answer is based on speculation. However, some people believe that maintaining a connection in their address book for future reference is a prudent measure. Others have their own ideas, and we can also have our own standards, without worrying about the result of rejection.
The questioner should not be concerned about being bullied. Based on the questioner's past responses, it is evident that the questioner's solutions are not only decisive but also emotionally charged. Furthermore, every decision the questioner makes ensures that there are no concerns, which is a commendable quality.
The questioner can attempt to ascertain whether, subsequent to each action, they will encounter the same issue with the same individual once more. If not, it is highly unlikely that the other person will conclude that the questioner is susceptible to intimidation. In fact, they may perceive the questioner to possess a robust sense of boundaries.
Even in situations where one feels weak, it is possible to be powerful. A classic example is the tongue and teeth. Teeth are hard, but they will gradually fall out as we age. The tongue is soft, but it can always remain with us.
The questioner may attempt to identify the aspect of themselves that exudes strength, which will diminish the influence of negative psychological perceptions.
Collisions between individuals' boundaries are an inherent part of getting along with others. When another person encroaches upon a boundary for the first time, they will likely be met with resistance. Based on this, I believe they will be less likely to continue doing so in the future. In such a situation, it may be helpful for the questioner to firmly state their position.
It is reasonable to act in accordance with your own moral code and in a way that is beneficial to yourself. It is not necessary for others to approve of your actions; what matters is that you feel happy and relaxed afterwards.
"The Courage to Be Disliked" may assist the questioner in understanding their own needs.
Best regards,

I can relate to feeling uncomfortable in situations where boundaries are crossed. It's important to trust your instincts and not secondguess yourself when you feel uneasy. Everyone deserves to be treated with respect, and it's okay to distance yourself from situations or people that make you feel otherwise.
It sounds like you've had several unsettling experiences. It's unfortunate that some of these incidents were dismissed by those you confided in. Your feelings are valid, and it's important to prioritize your comfort and safety. Sometimes people don't realize the impact of their actions until it's pointed out to them.
Reflecting on what you've shared, it seems like maintaining clear boundaries is something you've had to do repeatedly. It's admirable that you've managed to stand up for yourself in various ways, even if it wasn't always acknowledged by others. Recognizing inappropriate behavior and choosing not to engage further is a form of resistance in itself.
Your experiences highlight how personal boundaries can be overlooked in different contexts. It's disheartening when such moments are met with disbelief or dismissal. It's crucial to have a support system that acknowledges and respects your feelings. Finding people who understand and validate your experiences can be incredibly empowering.
Navigating these kinds of situations can be challenging, especially when they involve colleagues or individuals in positions of authority. It's important to take steps that ensure your wellbeing, whether that means avoiding certain interactions or seeking help from someone you trust within your organization or outside of it. Trusting your judgment in these matters is vital.
