Kristy: How do I best handle a situation with a co worker?
How closely do you follow your instinct in relation to what people say or do. If I am uncomfortable, does that mean that person may be bad news. I have a co worker who seems to engage me more than I like. Am I being a prude?

What have you done to be prude? I don’t think so at all . If you do not like this person invading your personal space or engaging you more than you would like then id try to stay away from them . If they come around pretend you are busy and do not have time to deal with them .. eventually they will get the point !
make yourself less available (only when necessary) until you can sort it out….Answer by Sue C
If you have a co worker you don’t feel comfortable being around, you have to have your reason for feeling as you do about them. Just keep your distance & don’t be overly friendly with them. Be busy when they come around you, walk in a different direction when they’re headed your way. You can come up with your own ways to avoid this person I’m sure. You have the rite to feel however you feel about a person, there’s nothing wrong with that…best to you…:)Answer by Paul
I would follow my own instincts – try adjusting to the best intentions of others and all of a sudden you be out to sea and not know where the hell you are. Better make mistakes following your own feelings, at least you’ve learned something and can file it away. Make a mistake following what I’ve suggested and what have you learned – not much except I didn’t know what I was talking about.
Be polite but stay clear of Mr. Bad News until you have overwhelming evidence to the contrary.
Good luck.
