Personal Space (Chapter 4)


Being too close to somebody else makes us very uncomfortable; it is in human nature. We have our “personal bubble” and when people get inside that bubble, we feel violated. Our personal space is something we really care to protect and we only open it to people like close friends and family. Each culture has different amounts of personal space and it can definitely be a culture shock to go somewhere with less space than your own culture. We are socialized to feel extremely uncomfortable when somebody is too close to us.
