After receiving physical contact from someone else, how can I get the person to stop without causing a scene?
user
You can say something like, “I’m sorry, I need some personal space” or “Thank you, I appreciate the contact but I need to pull away now”. Making direct eye contact and speaking calmly should get them to understand your request without causing a scene.

You can either move away from the person or distract them with aComment or question. Create a short remark that you find amusing and break eye contact for a second to avoid confrontation.
