These are common communication mistakes that make people keep their distance and intuitively perceive you with caution. Check to see if you are doing the same.
You approach a person unexpectedly. From behind, from behind, suddenly popping out from around the corner. Their mind doesn't have time to read your image, tune in to a conversation, and on a subconscious level, they begin to perceive you as hostile.
You violate the boundaries of a person's personal space. You touch them, stand or sit practically next to them, etc. If you are not on a romantic date and space allows you not to do this, it is better not to do this.
You stare intently, without looking away. Direct, prolonged eye contact, especially with someone you don't know, is subconsciously perceived as a sign of threat, aggression, or an attempt to dominate. A person feels “under the microscope,” they become uncomfortable, and they instinctively want to distance themselves or defend themselves.
You're spying. You're spying on someone's phone, computer, documents, etc. If the person wants to show you, they'll do it themselves.
You are eavesdropping. Perhaps you are unwittingly eavesdropping on a person's phone conversation or their conversation with someone else. If the person notices this, they will also have some uncomfortable feelings on an intuitive level.
You're asking too personal questions. Asking someone you barely know about their salary, personal life, health, or family problems is a gross invasion of their privacy. It forces them to either get defensive or lie, which instantly destroys potential trust.
You ignore body language. If the other person leans back, crosses their arms, looks away, or turns their body to the side, they are giving clear signals that they are uncomfortable or want to end the conversation. Insistently continuing the conversation in this case is perceived as pressure and disrespect for their wishes.
Respect the personal boundaries of others. And don't let other people violate yours.
