I'm the type of person that needs space. Don't get to close to me and I'm fine.

I hate it when I use the laptop on my break and people have to come around to see what I'm doing. Be it looking over my shoulder or what have you.

Really freaking annoying.

I need a lot of space as well I don't like when people think they can just stand around behind me, especially when I'm on the laptop at work. It's worse when a group of them start talking to each other behind me. Often, they aren't speaking English

I get annoyed at my workplace being so full these days, although it's good for the economy that they're hiring so many people, at least.

I don't mind it so much at work unless I'm really concentrating... if I'm absorbed in my work, it's probably not a good idea to crowd me. Distraction, really.

Paulguy's Post configuration
I'm quite the introvert so a lot of people around me is a bit uncomfortable, if I don't know them. If it's people I know I don't really care. I hate when people are trying to look at what i'm doing especially if I have a personal conversation up or something.

There are times I like to be alone. And 80% of the time it's like I have to be around people.

Usually that 20% is personal stuff that involves drinking and playing videogames without no one being around me.

I'm a bit of a hypocrite when it comes to this sort of thing; while I dislike people looking over my shoulder at what I'm doing on the computer, I'll often do the same thing for other people. Normally they won't mind, but it always does kind of make me feel like an asshole every time I think about it.

Easier to establish your own boundaries than establish other peoples', I guess.

I don't like people looking over my shoulder, but I don't mind being around various others as well.

Guess I'm less shy than I thought?

I don't mind it too much, but it's when you can hear the person breathing really hard that makes you notice. One person did that to me, and after awhile I finally asked, "Are you OK?"

Apparently I had a reputation of a "personal space bubble", which has since been shattered by my best friend and another friend. I'm okay with that.

I really prefer personal space than having people crowding around me for any reason, even if there's not enough room and people have to crowd around me. I also hate it when people feel like it's okay to touch me or whatever. I hate having people touch me in an attempt to be friendly, because I'll just keep jerking that part of my body away from them.

Yeah. I used to do that too. Then my best friend happened.

My mother loves to bitch at me when this happens.

I generally don't like people touching me unless I know them pretty well, although the definition of "know them" varies For instance, a woman in Seattle met me the previous day and I let her hug me, but I won't let my dad touch me even after 22+ years.

Dragon has a bubble.

This is his personal space. If you enter the bubble, and it's not a very big bubble, you are violating his personal space and will be glared at/shoved/told to kindly back yo ass the fuck up.

It's just so weird to have people that close unless they're family or very good friends.

I don't like it when people touch me either. Or hug me. My hubby's family likes to hug. I don't understand it. My dad is the same way as in he doesn't really hug much.
