So there is this desi fella we know in our social circle. Married and all, very nice yeah. BUT, whenever we meet, he must come stand so close to me, I can smell his breath. He means no disrespect I suppose and I think he stands that close looking straight into my eyes because he’s trying to show focus like I really care. Now when I see him, I just go stand behind my husband, and now he stands belly to belly with my husband ! His wife does the same thing; in fact she even holds my hand and doesn’t let go the entire conversation :(.
This seems more like a family problem. I think one should just avoid such chipku people :-). I had a guy in family, very nice, very caring and a perfect gentleman. he was in the habit of doing things that you just mentioned above and what we all used to do whenever we saw him was to say a quick hi and run away. i guess you should do the same with this family :-)
Oh noes, personal space invaders and tactile people are scary. Maybe he has low hearing?
I don't know what you can do other than to keep taking a small step away from them, eventually they'll get the message.
