Not sure what this would fall under, GAD or Social Anxiety. It is kinda both.
I can leave my house, I do not mind talking with others as long it is from a distance. Did you ever notice when you are talking with someone, they like to be right in your face? I will back up, and they move with you. You can start talking in a grocery store by the bread, and end up by the deli, and it never crosses the other persons mind why you keep moving away.
They say personal space is when you can stretch your arms out and make the imaginary circle around you. Anyone else need like 3 arms length? Maybe more, depending on the person with whom you are talking to? I think sometimes I would just be happy with a megaphone, lol
How much personal space do you need to feel comfortable? Thanks!
