Setting clear boundaries and letting others know how to respect your personal space is another way to show self respect. It is ok to verbalize to others when you feel uncomfortable if they are in your personal space as long as you do it in a kind and polite way. By letting someone know the things that make you feel uncomfortable, you are allowing them to show you respect as well by honoring your feelings. This isn't something that others should make you feel bad or guilty about if they truly care about you. Which best describes self respect by setting clear boundaries?

Jessie just got a new job and her boss often reaches across her to show her how to use the cash register. Jessie politely asks if she can step to the side and watch as her boss points out the correct keys. She tells him it makes her uncomfortable when he reaches across her.

Emily doesn't like to go to her uncle's house because her mom always expects her to hug everyone. Even though it makes her feel uncomfortable, Emily doesn't say anything because she doesn't want to make her mom angry.

Brandon doesn't like when Marcus jokes with him by playfully patting him on the back. Brandon shouts at Marcus to get away from him.

Tom has dated Jennifer for a couple of weeks. Tom believes that because she is his girlfriend, Jennifer should always hold his hand in public. Tom gets angry when she pulls her hand away when walking down the hall and tells her that she isn't a good girlfriend.

Respecting people’s personal space is very important. Personal space is the space that surrounds a person. Pushing or hitting another person is never OK. It is not respectful and invades their personal space. Some people need more personal space than other people. For example, some people like to be hugged by their friends and family, and some people don’t. It can also depend on the situation. Some people like hugs sometimes, but not all the time. If you’re not sure how someone feels, always ask them first. Which of these best describes respecting someone’s personal space?

Jerry knows Sarah doesn’t want to hug hello, so he waves at her instead.

Paul was so angry that he pushed Harry.

Penny’s favorite way to greet new people is to put her arms around them.

Divya wants to get to the front of the crowd, so she pushes Leon out of the way.

Raise your hand when you want to ask a question. At lunch, sit next to someone who you notice is always sitting alone and don’t exclude anyone.
