[Julia]

Your safety is a priority; others’ feelings aren’t. I know exactly which ‘Oprah’ show you are speaking of, and the advice came from Gavin de Becker, who wrote The Gift of Fear. If you feel there is reason for you to be cautious of someone, it is so much more important to keep yourself safe at the expense of someone else’s feelings. You could possibly be wrong, but what if you’re not? It’s stupid to put yourself at risk because of the way someone might feel. You don’t owe anyone any explanation for your actions. And if you trust yourself and your intuition, you’ll probably be right. I would definitely recommend reading The Gift of Fear. I worried about the same problem constantly until I put myself in the position of the person I might be offending, and I can say I would prefer to be offended than to have someone place themselves in a potentially dangerous situation.
