SubscribeI’m working on wiring in the house today and there’s a knock at the door. It’s a volunteer for the local NDP candidate soliciting votes/interest.
I’m polite and take her materials. She asks if I’m an NDP supporter and I say, no, I usually side with the Liberals. To which she asks “Why?”
I told the young lady, in a nice way, that it was really none of her business and excused myself to return to my wiring.
Now, the question is: am I over sensitive to being asked by a complete stranger why I support a specific party in the upcoming election? Seemed pretty nervy to me.

Nope. You weren't being overly sensitive,and it's doubtful she was really interested in learning what you thought. Besides, she probably was itching to launch into a spiel to try to convince you that the NDP was better than the Liberals.
