Hello all. I'm not sure if this is the right section, but I'm trying to gather some information about personal space for a class of mine. Please answer as truthfully as possible. I'm trying to narrow it down to make a comparison between 2 groups. Please help! Thanks for you time!

What is the distance between you and...before things get awkward (just approximate)
1. Parents -
I'm fairly close to my parents. I hold hands with my mom and hug my dad.. idk how to answer!! It gets awkward when my mom talks to me about marriage/bf-gf stuff.
2. Siblings - They are the closest people to me besides my mom. But it gets awkward when it comes to talking about MY love life since it doesn't pertain to me much
3. Close friends - Hmm.. gets awkward when we talk about our love life.. ironic, i know. -__<
4. Regular friends - When we talk about love life. It's just too personal to me!
5. Classmates - When they ask many many questions about my personal life.
6. Strangers - When they ask for personal info.. like my # perhaps..??

*gahh* I'm a conservative person.. and obviously very not-open with my non-existing love life.

What is the distance between you and...before things get awkward (just approximate)
1. Parents - Close to my parents, I don't exactly spill all my emotions or secrets to them. We don't have sex/bf talks because..well, they're asian.They expect me to know. rofl. Can ask talk to them about anything though if I want..but I don't really want to..so I don't unless it's absolutely imperative that they know. Doesn't sound like I'm close to them, but I am. rofl. trust me.

2. Siblings - Closer to my younger sister than any of siblings, she's 13. Older sister is currently on silent treatment to me for some obnoxious reason. Younger brother I used to be close to, but not really anymore.

3. Close friends - We're like family. We are. rofl. We do just about everything together, and we talk about anything we feel like. We insult, encourage, whatever. I'm talking about 4 other people here where we're all in one group and stick together.

4. Regular friends - BLEH. some are okay, some are whatever. Some talk mini cooper about you. some make up rumors about you. some just want things from you. some judge you on their own assumptions. some are really really good to you.haha.

5. Classmates - I'm in college. I just need notes, please. LOL. study groups!

5. Strangers - Kindly friendly to them depending on how they look, what time of day it is, who I'm with, and how many people are around me. rofl, basically if they look like the would kill,mug, ,rape, or kidnap any second then I stay away. There are different kinds of strangers... if you're in a big forum class, all the people you don't know are considered strangers, right? but you'll ask them for help if you needed it. it's a different story when you're like in downtown or something like that. get it? haha. ...yeah, I know I'm weird.

Hope that kinda help, I was rambling on a lot trying to explain stuff. I'm trying to be more friendly and talk to people because I wanna meet more people! : )

1. Parents -my mom and I are not that close, we don't get along. But we live with each other and butt our heads constantly. She really gives me a hard time because she's a korean parent, so I like to keep our distance. Like, I dont' trust her with secrets as much
2. Siblings -my brother and I are close, like best buddies. He's 11 yrs younger than I am, so I love my dongseng with all my soul!
3. Close friends -I have one guy buddy I hang out with almost everyday, and I don't have enough time to spend with all my close friends (the rest)... we go places 2 gether, eat 2gether, tutor and help each other with schoolwork, chat.
4. Regular friends - Like religious friends? yeah, I have lots and we try to keep close but it's easier said than done.
5. Classmates- ooh not yet! I have yet 1 month before applying to school once again. Then I'll be up and running...
5. Strangers- No, I've been taught there are a lot of wierdo's out there so I should be careful. I definitely don't just make friendly talk with just anybody.
