Um... what is a "personal bubble"?

It's the space some people like to have around them, the space they don't want others in.

I don't understand. I don't see any bubbles. ):

[nurse_cchapel]

It's a figure of speech. Bubbles are hard to see, anyway.

[holds out arms and spins them, forming a circle around herself] See? It's like I'm making myself a bubble.

How do you tell when people have these "bubbles"?

It's... Well, it's the distance people keep between themselves and others to feel comfortable.

Miss Rand!

... And this is measured in bubbles?

[ laughs a little. oh, charlie. ]

"Bubble of personal space" is just a figure of speech, but people think of the distance like a radius or a sphere. So, yes, I guess it's measured in bubbles.

But... it's not an actual bubble?

*FROWN. People are confusing*

Personal space, Kid.

[likeshappylooks]

Oh.

Where have you been all my life. <333

Personal space. Not everyone likes getting close.

:D

[likeshappylooks]

Why? D:

[do_it_in_three]

Hell if I know. I usually don't mind it.

How do you tell if someone has a "bubble"? Because I don't... I don't see any bubbles.
