sentence
Respecting someone’s personal space is important in Canadian culture and is a
sign of respect.
1st
If someone comes into my personal space, I feel uncomfortable with the other
person’s rudeness, but also because I don’t know a polite way to tell them that
they’re too close.
details
I’ve always chosen the indirect route of simply moving away from them although
sometimes, as you can imagine, the other person will move simply closer to me! So
this can become a ridiculous dance of me moving away, and them moving closer.
2nd Someone being in my personal space makes me feel uncomfortable because it
feels like they don’t respect me; that they are trying to dominate me.
details
The only time it is normal to be close to someone that you aren’t familiar with is if
you’re in a confrontation with them.
concluding
sentence
Giving someone their personal space is an important social norm anywhere in the
world, although the amount of space you have to give someone changes
depending on the culture.
