Steps to Address the Situation:
1. Acknowledge the discomfort: Calmly and respectfully let Naomi know that you feel uncomfortable when she leans her chest on you.
2. Be clear and direct: Explain that physical contact without your consent makes you feel uncomfortable. Use "I" statements to express your feelings, e.g., "I feel a little uncomfortable when our bodies are touching."
3. Set boundaries: Establish clear boundaries by explaining where and when you are comfortable with physical contact. For example, "I'm okay with a friendly handshake or sitting next to you, but I prefer to keep our bodies separate."
4. Request respect: Explain that you value her as a colleague and hope that she will respect your boundaries. "I would appreciate it if you could be mindful of the physical space between us."
5. Offer alternatives: If possible, suggest alternative ways to show camaraderie or support without physical contact, such as verbal compliments, non-verbal gestures, or shared conversations.
6. Listen to her response: Be open to hearing Naomi's perspective and understanding her intentions. She may not have been aware of her actions or may have different cultural norms.
7. Find a compromise: If Naomi understands your discomfort but finds it difficult to adjust, explore possible compromises. For example, agreeing to touch only briefly during specific occasions or in designated areas.
8. Seek support if needed: If Naomi does not respect your boundaries or the situation becomes uncomfortable, consider talking to a supervisor, HR representative, or trusted colleague for support. They can assist in facilitating a resolution that protects your well-being.
Additional Tips:
- Choose a private setting: This will allow for a more comfortable and confidential conversation.
- Speak in a calm and respectful tone: Avoid being aggressive or confrontational.
- Be assertive but not demanding: Stand up for your boundaries while maintaining a respectful demeanor.
- Practice active listening: Pay attention to Naomi's responses and seek to understand her perspective.
- Be willing to negotiate: Find a solution that works for both of you.
