If I'm in line, a couple of feet if standing front to back. Side to side (like waiting for a stall in a bathroom sometimes) maybe a few inches. If I'm in a big crowd, a foot.
The only time it really bothers me is on an airplane. I get freaked out breathing every body else's air and having to sit elbow to elbow with complete strangers. I used to ride the subway with my kids no problem in Boston. But of course if the person has an odor I want far away.
Re: s/o: How much personal space to you need?
I need to go back, forward, left or right without bumping into someone.
I HATE people on top of me. I hate someones leg or arm touching mine on the bus/train. Ugh
