I want my ..eermm.. SPACE

Clingy people irk me. Sorry.

I don't like the feeling. It probably is a very common Asian trait, but not for me. I hate the idea that someone just constantly needs me, my attention or talks to me at every possible opportunity. This is also why I don't like to be on MSN often because I cannot stand constant messages from people, even though I like them. But I don't have to talk to them 24/7.

In the office, I recently have a new colleague whom I work quite closely with. I detest the idea that she thinks we will lunch all the time. Only when I tell her I have things lined up, would she then find other lunch buddies. I don't want anyone to stick to me daily for lunch! I don't want someone who constantly wants to go home or walk to the train station together. I like being alone, or at least, as often as I like to be. Ermmm, it's difficult to tell her, "Can you please have your own life outside mine?" I guess I just need to distance myself from her time to time ;)
