About Personal Space
The term “personal space” generally refers to the physical distance between two people in a social family, or work environment. Think of your personal space as the air between your body and an invisible shield, or bubble, you have formed around yourself for any relationship.
The distance between you and your shield most likely varies from one person to another, depending on a variety of factors, including how well you know the person, your relationship to that person, how much you trust him or her, and your culture. In order to put others at ease, it's important to understand the importance of personal space.
Here are some basic rules:
Never touch anyone you don’t know.
Don’t reach for anyone else’s children, regardless of your intentions.
Stand at least 4 feet away from a person unless you know him or her well.
When someone leans away from you, you are probably in that person’s space that makes him or her uncomfortable. Take a step back.
If you walk into an auditorium or theater that isn’t crowded, leave an extra seat between you and the next person.
However, it is acceptable to sit next to someone if the room is crowded.
Never lean over someone else’s shoulder to read something unless invited.
Don’t allow your dog to go to the bathroom on someone else’s property.
Don’t cut in front of people in line.
Acknowledge personal space on the road. Don’t tailgate when driving
Don’t fling your arm around someone’s shoulder or slap anyone on the back unless you know the person very well.
Never go through anyone else’s personal belongings！
Don’t enter a room or office without knocking first！
Don't touch anything at room when no ones there!
