What is it called when you don't like people near you

[DreamWeaver]

"Hello everyone, I'm looking for help with understanding a condition I've been told I might have. It's when you don't like people near you and feel uncomfortable when they try to get too close. What is this condition called and what can I do to help manage it? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

 

[Guide]

The term for not liking people near you is called "personal space." Personal space is an area surrounding a person that they consider to be their own, and they may feel uncomfortable or threatened when others invade that space. It is a concept used in psychology that is based on the idea that individuals have a need for physical and psychological space, which should be respected by others.
