Nova Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 How many cm/m do you want a person stay away from you that you can talk normal with them. I hate it when a person stands 10 cm infront of me to talk to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generally for me the distance between chairs at most dinner tables is fine, I can stand closer if they're someone I like/care about. Any closer than like, two and a half feet tends to make me nervous. 9 minutes ago, Nova said: How many cm/m do you want a person stay away from you that you can talk normal with them.

Frozen Glacier Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 I would rather have someone standing four feet away from me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricky Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Wow, what is wrong with you people? Like, you really get uncomfortable if people are too close? Then again, I hate it when people get that close just to talk to you if they aren't whispering or something. It's like, "whoa, holy shit I don't know you THAT well!" "Leave room for Jesus", I gotta use that at some point x3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#00Buck Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 It depends on how attractive they are. If they look good I want them pressed right up against me.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Lion Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Arm's length or further is my preferred distance. I feel kind of claustrophobic if people crowd me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Leave room for Jesus", I gotta use that at some point x3 I get that kind of 'bugs are crawling all over you' response if people are too close, where my skin feels really itchy. More people exacerbate this from anxiety to panic, especially if I can't see one of them, due to partially-irrational paranoia. About the only times I can stand people within touching distance of me is if I'm on the bus, and if everyone is following the (in my opinion) socially appropriate rule of 'ignore everyone around you and don't start up a conversation' so that I can shove my nose in a book or in my writing and pretend none of them exist. I have issues, hurray! Although to be honest, most people from my hometown are the same way about distance, so there might be some claustrophobia in there as well, small town vs city experience and what not, with appropriate talking distance being at least arm's length away according to the cultural mores, if not moreso. Not sure if this is the case in other southern small towns, just that everyone in my hometown and a few of the others I've been to have also shared the whole 'retreat from people who are too close when talking or interacting' thing.

Feelwell Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 I don't really care unless you're like, creepily touching me. This creep who had a, really bad reputation at our school decided to lean back on my legs, I was a level above him in the bleachers. I kept pushing him off my leg he kept lying down on it. I moved my leg aside really fast and he slammed his head off the bleachers. That stopped him. When in doubt, a blow to the head to knock them out. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yarra Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Depends on how well I know you. Good friends can come up close but not weird close.  Arm's length is a good measure in the US.   Random guy on the street dedicated to telling people how to live their lives or spend their money may not come close or even near.     1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArielMT Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 If we're close enough that we could have a foam cowboy hat war while talking, we're probably too close. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gator Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 somewhere in the "arm's length to 6 feet away" range is cool. any further than that and i won't even know you're talking to me, but if you get closer than arm's length, we're gonna have a problem. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
