Do you get freaked out when people get in your personal space?

    It kind of depends on the person. Like, if I let you, I probably respect you a lot or even feel something for you. However, I don't really like people invading my space normally. Don't touch me for no reason. I don't like that kind of physical contact.

    It depends on if I am expecting them to invade my personal space (i.e. a hug or a crowded room). And I wouldn't so much say I get freaked out as uncomfortable.

    Sometimes. I do have my limits. I think I hate it more when people ask me personal questions.

    It depends on the situation and like how I'm feeling at that time. Like if it's a situation with friends that's totally cool and fine and all of the hugs and getting a bit closer as far as like a personal bubble. Same with partners like give me all of the hugs I need physical contact and closeness please

    But like if I'm in a situation where I'm really overwhelmed by noise and lights and people then I can't do any physical contact at all, and I need like a 10 mile personal bubble :joy:

    And never get too close or try to hug me from behind. There's 2 people in my life who I trust to hug me from behind and if anyone else does they're liable to get an elbow or me running away and hiding and not coming out of that hiding spot

    100 times yes. In fact, i do not like being touched at all.

    I have a personal space bubble made of steel.
