I can definitely relate to this in a lot of ways. I definitely need personal space, and *really* really don't want a stranger touching me or being too close.

That said, I also have invaded peoples' personal space, inadvertently for two reasons.

1) I have ADHD, and struggle with proprioception (I'll share a link below), so sometimes I don't realize I am doing it--this only happens with people I know, because I am intensely uncomfortable being close to people I don't know, I am always aware of my personal bubble in those circumstances.

2) I am hard of hearing. I read lips quite well, but if the sun is in my eyes, or the person is wearing a mask or scarf or anything covering their face, I have a lot of trouble hearing. I was chatting with a co-worker when she took a step back. I moved closer to hear her better, and she very politely communicated that she had taken a step back to observe the 6-feet of distance. I said Oh! I'm sorry, I moved closer because I was having a hard time hearing you. Neither of us meant to be rude or inconsiderate and lucky we had good communication, but someone else may perceive this as me being intentionally invasive.

Thank you for sharing :).
