Ok... in the police academy they teach that ones personal space is as far as their arms can extend in front of them or around them. If you can reach out and touch someone then they are envadin your personal space.. and an officer has the right to see the person as a threat.
So that answers the question:)
PS i feel sorry for people with short arms lol

There are many factors that determine acceptable personal distance such as relationship to the other person, nature of the conversation, location, culture, gender, and so on. Those are the ones I can think of the top of my head and explaining in detail each of them could be the subject of a Sociology dissertation.

i'm in ask your self whether this has any factor to do with how one is raised. i became into the youngest of six, we had the conventional sibling snits, yet we've been all affectionate to one yet another and to our mothers and fathers and to others, with greetings of farewells and solid-byes with hugs. My husband the eldest of three got here from an exceedingly inflexible family participants. I remember my hushand bidding his mom solid-bye as he left for provider so casual, I whispered to him to grant her a hug, he did. while his sister became into in the hospital dieing, I approched her mattress with, TLC, which she welcomed, My husband became into uncomfortable, I coaxed him to her mattress etc. He leaned over to chat to her and kissed her. She died day after in the present day, 2 weeks later in a quiet 2d he thanked me. My huband became into very affectionate to me our youngsters and grandchildren, My son isn't different then his spouse and infants. i'm right here to declare i might rather be a hugger, it feels so solid, To get a hug from my son, I could hug him first, and he's not very responsive, My husband is now no longer alive, so I pass over the hugs, fortunate my 12 365 days previous grandson is a hugger. you ought to be lacking some factor, you not at all understand "until eventually you are trying.

If they can reach out and slap you, you are too close. An arms length is always a good idea.
