I think when a stranger gets too close you think they want something or they are trying to rob you. That causes anxiety since you have to constantly evaluate their behavior with the chance that it's harmless as well. It becomes awkward not knowing what to do.

Apos 8ate nope the instinct doesnt know about robbing more like a fear of poking you in the eyes or hurting you
Y'all in London, if someone gets that close to you irl they are probably gonna try and pickpocket you.

Humans are fascinating. There is a reason we use the word ”invading” personal space. In addition to being uncomfortable, it’s also ways to intimidate people. So much non-verbal stuff happening there. Also interesting that being on the spectrum limits your ability to interpret those behaviors.

this experiment was dope. please do more. laughed my head off
I hate being in close proximity to people. I don’t do crowded venues for that reason. I get very claustrophobic.
This is helpful. Rarely see people talk about this topic.
Timestamps of various points 0:51 visual of different spaces 1:47 seated woman 2:52 woman on street 3:06 woman "cheers" 0:01 woman w/slow reaction
1:10 is how close I sit next to friends, family is more like the one before.
interesting how people are getting their important bodyparts in safe zone, somebody his head first, somebody is stepping back, somebody get his intimate body part to safe zone first, very interesting, thank you

Where I live the only ppl still doing that is the senior citizens, I always talk to them & help them in grocery stores, bus & trains & they get so happy to have someone to talk to, that sees them & acknowledges their existence :) I tend to be more open & chatta when I'm abroad, ppl where I live are all loners
I HATE when folk get too close to me.

You have to do this in a space where people aren't going to think they're getting pickpocketed. It's invalid otherwise.
Had an idiot coworker always stand too close to me. Luckily we were always tested for c-19, which tempered my instinct to punt him across the room.
The energy field around the body is actually pretty wide. When people come to close esp ppl you don't know, it's like kissing someone when you don't want it.

I know right!!! Even waiting in line at any public place too, today while waiting in line at rite aid i had to move 3 times ( huge gaps) especially to the side from someone. Still kept coming too close near me. This person moved so close i was near the registers past the red line. No joke, shit is creepy asf.
Strangers invade my personal space all the time, the intimate kind, I usually quickly double check my valuables and place them on my other side away from them. After that I do not worry unless I see them itching themselves or sneezing/coughing. Or if they pick their nose, I want to get away from there. Otherwise, I usually say hello and make conversation when they invade my space. Their penance. I eat an awful lot of garlic.
Hence why I despise airports.
People have sat on my bag before. Multiple times. And it's not being filmed like this. SO annoying.
When someone says back off, respect it.
Nice video
I found this hard to watch. Really funny though :)
I just had an engineer come to my flat the other day to fix the boiler, I was trying to show him where the heaters were and he was too close to me in my personal space I had to get something out the way in front of the heater but I couldn't he was that close I would had to touch him. Then I tried opening the door for him to let him out and again he was right behind me he didn't even move back and give me space to open the door properly. It was very strange because I've had many engineers at my flat they have never done this. I don't understand why he did that it was very uncomfortable.

In Finland you invade a persons personal space by standing 2 meters apart from that person.
And it feels like I am just to close to love you ...
When watching this I think of when I play RDR2 and I get too close invade npcs personal space, and they react to it, its so realistic
What about when you are on the tube and your under someone's armpit? Is that considered they are too close to you? :-)
Really? Because that 4th one "family and romantic relationships" is pretty much the space my good friends are in. If we didn't get in that space, how would I even be able to hug them? However the other spaces are bigger in my case. I think I'm a bit more black and white - good friends, very close, touching, hugging.. Others, don't touch me at all, stay at a distance.
Its outright disrespectful & if you like someone just talk to them to see if you can see a friendship in the making & keep it moving.
If you get on a bus and there is only one other passenger, in Asian countries it would be insulting not to sit next to them, and in Finland it would be rape if you did.
Yooooo, 3:38 he thought he was about to get some action
I wanted this group of people I used to know to leave me alone for years and they didn't and kept coming near me, and the scary part was that they had people convinced and treating me like it was me who wasn't leaving them alone. The one person would hack me and then repeat some things I said online before I could and then people just assumed that if I repeated my opinions online that I was copying them or that I saw it because I was stalking them, even if I had only found them by accident. They'd also add in things I never said, too, so people ended up thinking I was saying awful things even when I wasn't. When I would try to explain it wasn't me people wouldn't care or believe me, and I got relentlessly bullied over it all for years, with a large number of people telling me to kill myself and sexually harassing me to my face, telling me I deserved it. All of the people abusing me were them and people they told, even if they weren't people I ever knew on a personal basis. People had also been telling me they'd hurt me and others but those threats stopped years ago, and they instead just tried passing off they were good people since people didn't believe they did it in the first place. It makes me angry when they change facts and lie about what they did, and when they brag about themselves in ways that either aren't true or that were compliments they took from me to spite me. I ended up having a mental break down because being spited, mocked, followed/stalked, harassed, sexually harassed, and bullied for years, had a huge toll on my mental health. Also the people who stalked me stalked me online as well as in person, and they knew it was me since they moved here just to follow me, and they live in my same city. Despite lying about where they live and their age and what they look like, and other creepy shit, like if their parents are alive or not, and that they had ADHD when they don't, and that they're shy when they're not. They also have a tendency of being so highly manipulative that they actually fake actions just to make themselves look how they want to others. All hidden behind calm soft-spoken tones. They also liked to say "if at all" a lot. They like to gas light me and hide to others what they did by repeating things so people don't know the accurate time of events. Police also help them to cover up the severe crimes they committed and I've been stalked and harassed for years by police, too. I wanted to be left alone and I didn't get that. I wanted my privacy and I didn't get that. The one person has finally after years left me alone, but others have not.

The black guy was fine.
Obviously this is not in context when close is the norm but must be modified like in lifts, subway throngs or drunken crowds at a concert. .....where touching, holding and invading space would be mistaken for the situation, no more than blaming it all on Christmas.
Close before Covid19

I think if you make this challenge in2021 that will be dangerous
I’d probably ask if she’s trying to hug me or what? I wear a free hugs shirt and hug people who want one. It doesn’t bother me.
This nicely shows how privileged women are (especially a good-looking ones). If a man did that, he'd got in trouble pretty quickly.

I dont think its a problem for men as long as youre a woman and youre hot enough! Lol!
Terrible examples. Way too exaggerated. In the real world people have small differences in personal space needs so you can be too close or too far without knowing it. You usually are. This is like teaching people not to burn pizza by shooting a flamethrower into the oven. No subtlety or understanding of how complicated this is.
