Remember that everyone has a different size personal space; some are small and some are extra large.
A person's personal space is always to be respected. This means not standing too close when talking and keeping your hands to yourself!
Don't take it personally when someone has a bigger personal space than you; some people just aren't comfortable with others being inside their personal space.
Many people have different personal spaces for different people, such as small personal space for family and large personal space for teammates.
A lot of people have bigger personal spaces now because of the pandemic.
