When your boundaries feel violated, and you want to be gentle about it, try requesting that the person ask consent before engaging with you that way. If applicable, let them know that if they really need this and they request it, the boundary might be negotiable.
Boundaries are imaginary borders, and other people may not understand how to participate with imaginary things the way you want them to - or their imagination may be offline for some cosmic reason.
I like using the question "can we pause for consent?" when someone I am close to wants to grumble about nonsensical things, for example.
