What are the three levels of personal space?

Introduction:

Personal space is the amount of physical distance that you and another person can stand apart from each other. There are four levels of personal space, starting from the most intimate and moving outward.

The "Intimate space" is between you and someone else and the proximity is typically 6 inches or closer.

The intimate space is between you and someone else. It's the space that allows you to stand as close as possible without feeling uncomfortable. The Intimate Space is typically reserved for people who are close to you, like family members and close friends.

The "Personal space" is approximately an arm's length away, typically 18 inches to 4 feet away.

You can use your personal space to gauge how close someone is to you. The personal space is about an arm's length away, typically 18 inches to 4 feet away.

It's important for people who have difficulty knowing their own body language because it gives them a reference point that helps them know what others are feeling and thinking without having to look at their face or ask them directly if they're ok with something happening.

The "Social space" is about 4 to 12 feet of distance from you and someone else.

Social space is about 4 to 12 feet of distance from you and someone else. It's not just about the physical space, but also about how much eye contact you're willing to make with another person. When we talk about social distance, we're talking about how much personal space people need in order for their interactions to feel comfortable.

In a crowded room full of people who are all talking at once and making eye contact with each other, there's no need for any kind of additional personal space because everyone else is doing their part too! It's an incredibly efficient use of resources: no one needs to worry about being left out by others because everyone has something important going on inside themselves as well—and if they don't have anything pressing going on right now (like eating lunch), then they can wait until later when those things happen again during lunchtime instead--or even after dinner time comes around again...

The "Public space" is more than 12 feet away from you and someone else.

The Public space is more than 12 feet away from you and someone else. If you were standing in this space, a stranger could approach you and start talking to you. However, if the person was too close to your personal space, then that person would be considered “too close” for comfort and should probably get out of line!

In order for us all to operate safely together as a society, we need rules about how far away people can stand from each other when they're interacting with one another in public spaces like parks or sidewalks (or even inside houses). These rules are called "personal boundaries." We call them personal boundaries because they apply only to individuals—not groups—and they're not necessarily written down anywhere; they just exist within each individual's mind!

There are four levels of personal space, starting from the most intimate and moving outward.

There are four levels of personal space, starting from the most intimate and moving outward.

  • Intimate space: This level is reserved for close friends or romantic partners. It includes an area that's not far enough away to feel like you're intruding on someone else's personal space, but still close enough that they can see your face clearly when they talk to you (even if they don't respond).

  • Personal space: The next level up is personal space—you can comfortably move around in this area without causing any discomfort or worry for another person nearby. If there are other people around, it's probably best not to get too close; if there aren't any others present at the moment but someone has just left their seat because they were getting up to go somewhere else then it would be okay for them just now find themselves back sitting down again without having moved all the way across their end table so quickly! (It might also depend on whether or not those particular people like being touched by strangers who approach without warning.)

  • Social Space: Finally we reach social spaces where no one feels intimidated by another person standing near them; however unlike Intimacy where physical contact isn't usually allowed (although some people might feel comfortable enough with each other after spending time together), Social Space allows full interaction between two individuals who will likely never meet again once this meeting ends."
