Lesson 15 : Designing Personal Space

Importance Of Personal Space

The basic concept of "personal space" is an important social rule. . It's a simple idea--each of us has an invisible bubble around us where we feel safe, and if someone crosses into it we become uncomfortable. Personal space is an approximate area surrounding an individual in which other people should not physically violate in order for them to feel comfortable and secure. At home there are many activities that need personal space like personal grooming, bathing dressing etc. It is the zone around individuals. Intrusion in personal space often leads to discomfort, anger, or anxiety on the part of the victim. The amount of personal space required for any given person or family is subjective.
