It kind of feels like i have to. You must talk to co workers to do your job. But as I mentioned, I keep my office door closed and even shut my shades a little. But people just walk in anyway.

I can't really understand how this keeps happening to me. I went through a period a few years ago where I was friends with people I didn't really want to be. Eventually they betrayed me. And now we don't talk. I am grateful that I no longer have to speak with them (mostly because we don't have to work with each other).

And as soon as those people left me I got an entire new gaggle of people talking to me that aren't my friend... and they are just as disrespectful of the signs that I give them that I don't want to talk and just as unconcerned about me as a person.

I can push back hard but they will be annoyed with me. It seems that pushing back hard is the only option. Anything less than that seems to get them to refuse to stop.
