No matter what office you work in, your time and space is your priority, and it is your right to keep it safe.
If a colleague repeatedly asks you questions about your personal life, such as family, relationships, or habits, it may be a sign of their growing interest.
2. Asserting more entitlement
Paying attention to your commute times other than work, insisting on going with you for lunch, or demanding to meet after office
If the office colleague is trying to increase physical proximity to you, such as sitting very close to you or trying to touch you repeatedly, this is a dangerous sign.
If that person is excessively active on your social media profile and is giving romantic reactions to every post, then it may be an attempt to enter personal space.
How to set the limit?
1. Talk clearly:
First of all, tell them politely that you just want to have a professional relationship.
2. Adopt precise body language:
Stand confidently, look into your eyes and don't make any gestures that discourage their movements
3. Tell
other colleagues: If you feel uncomfortable, discuss it with your close co-workers or manager.
4. Report If
their behavior starts crossing the line, the best solution is to contact the HR team in the office.
Build professional relationships and respect boundaries The
office is a place where professionalism should be your priority. If a colleague crosses your limit, take immediate steps instead of ignoring it. It is not only important for your mental health, but also helps in maintaining a healthy office environment.
