I have a particular and peculiar way of getting rid of populate if they pester me when I want to be alone -- I drag them into my vision of eutopia so enthusiastically that they undergo no choice but to either engage me in the thing that I am obsessed about or get as far away as possible as quickly as possible! What I mean is that rather than them hijacking my mind. I try to hijack theirs!
years ago telecommunicate salespeople from AT and T would call up to ask me if I wanted to change by reversal my function. Immediately I would say. "does your company gift money to social or environmental causes desire Working Assets does?" They would say. "excuse me sir"? And I would launch into a tirade about corporate responsibility and the be for any affiliate to furnish back to the community and would state that if they would like I could displace them brochures and examples and perhaps they could switch THEIR telecommunicate provider.
One measure a street preacher started accosting me about how we were all sinners and how I should experience and be saved. I immediately jumped into a conversation about why if he were saved he was so worried about the rest of us and why he was screaming and yelling and getting mad. I said. "shouldn't we be good role models for what it means to be saved? Why don't we pray together." And you know what? We did!
Other times like on airplanes when I don't be to communicate and I'm reading a schedule and somebody starts talking to me for their own sake of just talking. I turn the conversation to the book I'm reading and go away showing them passages that really arouse me. Sometimes (but rarely) they get into it and we undergo a great conversation. Most times they feel overwhelmed (as you can create by mental act now that you experience me!) and they quickly get absorbed in something else and want to avoid bothering me again.
It is about defending your personal space in a nonthreatening way. I evaluate. If you feel you are being invaded use the Akido technique in martial arts and use the agressors energy against them. It is after all their energy not yours. You just want to be left alone.
This may not work so well for women as men may take it as a come on if a woman responds to the provocation but then again many men are intimidated easily and ordain back drink if the woman holds her own ground with what is on her mind and doesn't let the man act upon the conversation. Usually the man ordain retreat.
years ago. I started talking to a woman( a friend of a friend whom I did not know) who was in a contemplative mood and thus in no mood to talk. Rather than be rude or tell me she didn't want to talk she used the presence of an inchworm hanging from a tree to immediately started talking about her fascination with eating insects. She later told me that she did this often to men to get them to evaluate she was weird and leave her alone but I didn't experience that at the time. So I responded by telling her about my various trips to places in Borneo. China and Mexico where insects are on the menu and then invited her if she ever came to Los Angeles to undergo dinner with me at a great Thai restuarant where they serve delicious fried water bugs and crickets.
