How are some people so comfortable.

Coming very close to a person is like intimidating his area and trying to take control of him. It is a psychological trick some people play who know such kind of things. We are all comfortable when people are at an arm's distance from us. But when someone crosses that and comes closer where you can hear them breathing it is a bit uncomfortable. Especially if the other person happens to be more muscular or intelligent or in any manner better than you. It makes the person feel that he/she is being over-powered. Although many people don't know about this and they do it involuntarily, the other person is sure feel a sense of insecurity. Some people are very cautious as to what the other people might say when they see him/her so close to the other. This especially happens when the other person is of opposite gender. For some people it is just a matter of space. They do not like being in crowded places where everyone is sticking to one other. Some people try to show their connectedness by doing so but most of the times it makes much harm than good.

I think these people are not aware of the concept of space, distance and respect. Talking too near to a person as if you are nearly kissing, to me, is very insulting and disrespectful. We have what we call the "intimate" zone, yet this is observed by couples and not during ordinary conversations. It is important that we all should know to position ourselves and determine our boundaries when talking, mingling or interacting with the others.

Yeh, it's kind of a pet peave of mine too. I like my space, my "personal bubble" if you will. I am a toucher, I hug and touch a lot, but it is normaly with very clode friends and even then,there is still a bit of space involved. The exception of course is my girlfriend, I cuddle and snuggle a lot with her when we talk. But the rest of the popluation at large gets a few feet of space and a request for the same courtesy. I have been told in some cultures, it is normal and that such space isn't generaly recognized though. Glad I live where I do, lol.

Hello, I don't like having people being so close to my. I need my space. If someone is too close I back up. The only person I don't mind being close to me is of course my b/f and he knows I need my space.

Hello meenakshisoni!!! Well that would be nice, if the talker is the person I love haha...But normally if someone does like that, I can't really feel comfortable. I wonder how funny or disgusting when a person stares at you from a inch far haha...I think that will even start to change the color of my face...No I can't be comfortable in that condition. I think if a angry guy or gal face such person, then that person will get a slap haha... happy mylotting...

[b][/b]I don't like people to talk to me with their face so close, they might have bad breath [yuck], it made me feel uncomfortable.And those staring directly in my eyes, it feels like it measuring my personality.
