Is It Always N Behavior to Violate Others' Boundaries?
BonesMS:
I have to go back to work tonight given that I can't stay home sick for too long. (I don't get sick leave.) I'm resting as much as possible.
One thing I noticed, when I was working Sunday night, quite a few of the clients seem to have N tendencies. I had the clients settled down, (or so I thought) and was writing case notes when one of the clients walked up behind me and peered over my shoulder. I was so startled that I almost hit him reflexively. He demanded to know what I was doing and what I was writing. My response: "I BEG YOUR PARDON?!?!?!? GET TO BED!!!!"

Dear Bones,
Was about to write and ask how you were today. It's hard when you don't have sick leave, but, you are wisely resting as much as possible, and that's about all you can do.
Do hope you have a relatively 'easy' night with no hassles.
Well Done You!!! You handled Sunday night's situation wonderfully.
:) Smiling because i am picturing you acting reflexively, understandably .
One thing I do find most uncomfortable is someone standing over my shoulder.
All the best tonight. Take care of you.
Love, Leah

Thanks, Leah!
I was ticked that this client attempted to poke his nose where it clearly did NOT belong! Some of the clients I encounter seem to have this attitude of "I'M ENTITLED!" Sheesh!

I just learned that one of the worst clients we had last year is attempting to return this year. God help us!

The more I work with the current group of clients, the more I realize that it appears to be N-ish to violate other people's boundaries. (Most of this group also has a problem with any kind of authority.)
