Personal Space -- In Your Face

candy_coated_bitch · 12-01-2014, 08:30 PM

I HATE HATE HATE people in my personal space. I have a very wide sphere of personal space, wider than most. Strangers in my space? Oh, hell no! I can't stand people behind me (it's a PTSD thing) and hate when people come up behind me in stores, or even when people I know startling me. I also hate lines, and especially those people who don't understand the concept of not breathing down your neck while standing behind you. I always give those people a dirty look and move away from them. Close talkers? Ew. I back away and back away and back away but close talkers don't tend to be hint takers I've found LOL.

I let only select people into my personal space. I have lots of friends I give hugs to upon seeing or leaving them--but I'm not very touchy feely with most of my friends beyond that. I'm not a cuddler unless it's a significant other or maybe one or two specific friends and then I am VERY affectionate.

That is all.

Personal space has meant different things to me depending on my circumstances and the different places I've been. I lived in a commune where I had to share space and lived with lots of people and children all around me and set my mind to love it and it taught me many things. I've also had times in my life when I was very alone and was very comfortable just doing my own thing. I think where I am at right now is somewhere in the middle, sharing my space is definitely a good thing.
