Few people think about it, but everyone has their own personal space. The animal has its own, but the person has his own and everyone has it different. People have their own things and interests, a lot of animals perceive some air space around them as personal space. Many people confuse personal space with the category of personal life, but this is not the case.
Personal territory, both in humans and in animals, expands or shrinks depending on the circumstances. In animals, an area with a radius of 50 kilometers or even more can be considered personal space. In people, personal space depends on where they live, but for the same animals, the concept of personal space depends on their habitat, which live in zoos as a whole group, they consider only a few meters around them to be personal space, which is explained by high crowding. That is, in people, personal space is to some extent determined by nationality, in animals - from the zone of their habitation.
The need for personal space is necessary for everyone, as is the need for communication, attention and love. Someone has a narrow need, someone wider. The Japanese are used to being crowded; other people are more used to spaciousness. In prisons, people have greater spatial needs than most of us. Since they have to, like animals, constantly protect their own space. It is worth noting that personal space, like communication distance, directly depends on a person's personal anxiety. Solitary confinement, during which no one invades the prisoner's personal territory, has a calming effect.
Thus, it becomes clear that personal space is necessary for both people and animals to maintain their individuality. Of course, it is necessary to overcome the barrier of personal space, but it is better to do this gradually, harmlessly, positively. So that it does not cause stress to an animal or a person, and at this moment a sense of security remains.
