Stood too far away as a child

Post Reply New Topic

Time and time again I hear how aspies stand too close. I was the opposite; I stood a little too far away, especially with peers when I was a child. I always felt uncomfortable if others were too physically close to me and back away. This ended when I was about 9 or 10 and I started to the stand the "socially acceptable" distance away from people.

Anyone else like this?

I tend to stand too close to people I feel comfortable around, like my family and close friends. With strangers and acquaintances, I feel more comfortable standing a bit further away than average. I've always been this way.
