WHAT IS & HOW SPACIOUS IS ONE’S PERSONAL SPACE!!??

I got thinking over the last few weeks on these two very important words – PERSONAL SPACE.

So what is the personal space???
· Does it mean time to be just alone with yourself?
· Does it mean physical space around you?
· Why do people need personal space?
· Does it mean being independent?
Lot more questions!! Lot more thoughts inside my mind…

As human beings we all surely have our own unique set of opinions, apprehensions, habits (physical and emotional), experiences. So these create and develop our day-to-day actions..because we all do and perform actions in both personal and professional lives…based on all of the above. Amidst the sea of humanity around us, our actions, reactions and emotions are completely unique. In all of this change and action, we all have this amazing ability to cut off, be lost in thoughts, chase our pursuits and live in our own small world.

So, when someone enters that small world (or should I say SPACIOUS!!??), it helps us understand, wonder, analyze or even question the similar/different perspectives that comes along. This person could be your mom, sister, girlfriend, spouse, co-worker….None of us likes being told what we should do, how we should think…simply because it questions our intrinsic thoughts/views/mindset….it is like being taken out of our comfort zone!!! Isn’t it??

And that I think is personal space…our thought process….having said that, it is only when we realize all by ourselves what should have / should our thoughts, actions and emotions be, that we get a different perspective….or reflect back on what other person might have intended…so I think personal space is surely also virtual…can be any size….and is constantly evolving!!!
