Intimate distance is not suitable for social occasions

Intimacy distance is the minimum distance in interpersonal communication, which is often called "intimacy". The range of intimacy is within 6 inches (about 15 cm), and each other may touch their skin and ears, so that they can feel each other's body temperature, smell and breath. The far range of intimacy distance is between 6 to 18 inches (15 to 44 cm), and the physical contact may be manifested as arm in arm, or facilitation It still reflects the intimate and friendly interpersonal relationship.

As far as communication situation is concerned, intimate distance belongs to private situation, which is only used between people with highly close emotional connection. In social occasions, in public, two people (especially the opposite sex) so close, it is not very elegant. Between people of the same sex, it is often limited to close friends. They are very familiar with each other and are easy-going. They can not stick to details and talk about anything. Between the opposite sex, it is only limited to couples and lovers. Therefore, in interpersonal communication, a person who does not belong to this intimate distance circle will break into this space at will. No matter what his intention is, it is impolite, which will cause the opposite party's disgust and make trouble for himself.
