this makes me uncomfortable. I hate when people get too close to me.
Specially when u step back and they step in. Ughhh
I disliked your comment just because you typed the word "uncomfortable".
Ugh same not even Covid makes people stop standing close to others I hate that sht
I think everybody does
how do u even ride crowded bus
I think when a stranger gets too close you think they want something or they are trying to rob you. That causes anxiety since you have to constantly evaluate their behavior with the chance that it's harmless as well. It becomes awkward not knowing what to do.
Apos 8ate nope the instinct doesnt know about robbing more like a fear of poking you in the eyes or hurting you
Y'all in London, if someone gets that close to you irl they are probably gonna try and pickpocket you.

this so uncomfortable to watch
Im lmfao

Humans are fascinating. There is a reason we use the word ”invading” personal space. In addition to being uncomfortable, it’s also ways to intimidate people. So much non-verbal stuff happening there. Also interesting that being on the spectrum limits your ability to interpret those behaviors.
I am also on the spectrum, I find it difficult to understand the meaning of behaviors
What is being on the spectrum? Wdym
@@conceptoarcanocanaloficialAutism.
@@encouraginglyauthentic43 I recently discovered I'm on the Autism spectrum (or Neurodiverse spectrum). It's no wonder I always feel so uncomfortable when people sit next to me. Even my poor mum 😓
this experiment was dope. please do more. laughed my head off
I hate being in close proximity to people. I don’t do crowded venues for that reason. I get very claustrophobic.
This is helpful. Rarely see people talk about this topic.
Timestamps of various points
0:51 visual of different spaces
1:47 seated woman
2:52 woman on street
3:06 woman "cheers"
0:01 woman w/slow reaction
1:10 is how close I sit next to friends, family is more like the one before.
It depends on the country or the city.
interesting how people are getting their important bodyparts in safe zone, somebody his head first, somebody is stepping back, somebody get his intimate body part to safe zone first, very interesting, thank you
"-You're sitting on my Bag.
-Oh... I'm Sorry" :DDD I love this video. :D
This is GENIUS
I can totally relate to this.
Her face as she scoots next to people is so funny 🤣
That was funny and lovely too! Made me giggle!!
this is literally a felony in 2020
And it should be
At 3:08 the person she is talking to is incredibly attractive ❤
Because is a Man?
The last guy went for the booty until she said we are filming. Then he was like, oh shit!
This is hilarious! XD
I would be like the dude on the phone I quite liked it.🤣
I just had an engineer come to my flat the other day to fix the boiler, I was trying to show him where the heaters were and he was too close to me in my personal space I had to get something out the way in front of the heater but I couldn't he was that close I would had to touch him. Then I tried opening the door for him to let him out and again he was right behind me he didn't even move back and give me space to open the door properly. It was very strange because I've had many engineers at my flat they have never done this. I don't understand why he did that it was very uncomfortable.
You should have told him to stay out of your personal space. Be straight forward with people, tell them to move if they're too close. If you give people an inch they will take a mile.
@@lepolhart3242 the same guy came again yesterday, he did absolutely nothing about the hot water just took a look at the boiler and said i will put it on the system and get it fixed for you. If they know its an issue he can't fix why send him., again stood right next to me as I was trying to open the door for him. Made me feel a bit uncomfortable.
@@RS-gh4ui you could complain about him and ask them not to send him again as he's useless anyway. Also don't let him into your property if you don't feel comfortable with him. Ask them to send someone else.
@@lepolhart3242 i think I will actually
@Mia L I am definitely going to complain.
Lol. I would suggest NOT trying this experiment in the states.
I love you for doing this video this is my problem people who need to be that close everywhere I go it feels like I'm meeting that lady do a video on how to get personal space
Great video...very funny
In Brazil we talk and seat CLOSE to ANYONE. No matter if the person is strange or not. 😂 There are no rules like this!
It’s not a rule it’s just respectful
Ahhh so that’s why a when I volunteer pre covid the person from Brazil got so close now I know . She was just visiting
Brazil = 0:49 ?
Where I live the only ppl still doing that is the senior citizens, I always talk to them & help them in grocery stores, bus & trains & they get so happy to have someone to talk to, that sees them & acknowledges their existence :)
I tend to be more open & chatta when I'm abroad, ppl where I live are all loners
The show we all grew up with, the Personal Space Show!
I find this very funny hahahah
People enjoying their space
Lady: I'm about to end their whole career
The energy field around the body is actually pretty wide. When people come to close esp ppl you don't know, it's like kissing someone when you don't want it.
I know right!!! Even waiting in line at any public place too, today while waiting in line at rite aid i had to move 3 times ( huge gaps) especially to the side from someone. Still kept coming too close near me. This person moved so close i was near the registers past the red line. No joke, shit is creepy asf.
This was really weird or sorta uncomfortable to watch
I HATE when folk get too close to me.
Strangers invade my personal space all the time, the intimate kind, I usually quickly double check my valuables and place them on my other side away from them. After that I do not worry unless I see them itching themselves or sneezing/coughing. Or if they pick their nose, I want to get away from there. Otherwise, I usually say hello and make conversation when they invade my space. Their penance. I eat an awful lot of garlic.
Yoo the guy at the end liked you 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Had an idiot coworker always stand too close to me. Luckily we were always tested for c-19, which tempered my instinct to punt him across the room.
What about when you are on the tube and your under someone's armpit? Is that considered they are too close to you? :-)
No such things in India and China..
People have sat on my bag before. Multiple times. And it's not being filmed like this. SO annoying.
I get uncomfortable when people are too close to me in my personal space or when I am sitting too close to other people makes them uncomfortable 🥴
I would most likely freak out I hate people invading my personal space.
*Sits next to L Rowe Rowe*
Lol im actually someone who isn't bothered by someone standing within my personal space... although i get why it makes people anxious or uncomfortable when it happens to them.
When i worked overnights at a convenience store many years ago, i had a married female co-worker whose shift would overlap with mine. During slower moments at night, she and i would do inventory counts or balancing that day's registers. We'd stand very close to one another while doing so. In these moments i found out what a flirt she was: when a register was just a few cents off, she counted the change out and unexpectedly shoved it into my front pants pocket. After both of us had a good laugh, she offered an apology for getting so up close; i told her i didn't mind in the least, that she could pick my pockets and I'd still find her attractive. She grinned, slid her arm around me and tucked her fingers into my pocket holding my wallet. Giving it a couple of playful tugs, she responded with: "Thanks for the invitation...if im ever short on cash, I'll take you up on it." After that, we used each other's pockets as a means of flirting with one another, and we both enjoyed it immensely!
Really? Because that 4th one "family and romantic relationships" is pretty much the space my good friends are in. If we didn't get in that space, how would I even be able to hug them? However the other spaces are bigger in my case. I think I'm a bit more black and white - good friends, very close, touching, hugging.. Others, don't touch me at all, stay at a distance.
she's jokessss man
You have to do this in a space where people aren't going to think they're getting pickpocketed. It's invalid otherwise.
I admire this lady. Can imagine how awkward it was for her to invade other people's personal space 😅
The black guy was fine.
If you get on a bus and there is only one other passenger, in Asian countries it would be insulting not to sit next to them, and in Finland it would be rape if you did.
This nicely shows how privileged women are (especially a good-looking ones). If a man did that, he'd got in trouble pretty quickly.
Hence why I despise airports.
What song is this help
Oh oh oh
the song is called Changing the World by Camille Beluze and Sylvain Lux !
whats the song title?
a year late reply but the song is called Changing the World by Camille Beluze and Sylvain Lux :)
@@jiaying6318 ty for this :)
Nice video
Very funny.
I found this hard to watch. Really funny though :)
In Finland you invade a persons personal space by standing 2 meters apart from that person.

Its outright disrespectful & if you like someone just talk to them to see if you can see a friendship in the making & keep it moving.
And it feels like I am just to close to love you ...
I wanted this group of people I used to know to leave me alone for years and they didn't and kept coming near me, and the scary part was that they had people convinced and treating me like it was me who wasn't leaving them alone. The one person would hack me and then repeat some things I said online before I could and then people just assumed that if I repeated my opinions online that I was copying them or that I saw it because I was stalking them, even if I had only found them by accident. They'd also add in things I never said, too, so people ended up thinking I was saying awful things even when I wasn't. When I would try to explain it wasn't me people wouldn't care or believe me, and I got relentlessly bullied over it all for years, with a large number of people telling me to kill myself and sexually harassing me to my face, telling me I deserved it. All of the people abusing me were them and people they told, even if they weren't people I ever knew on a personal basis. People had also been telling me they'd hurt me and others but those threats stopped years ago, and they instead just tried passing off they were good people since people didn't believe they did it in the first place. It makes me angry when they change facts and lie about what they did, and when they brag about themselves in ways that either aren't true or that were compliments they took from me to spite me. I ended up having a mental break down because being spited, mocked, followed/stalked, harassed, sexually harassed, and bullied for years, had a huge toll on my mental health. Also the people who stalked me stalked me online as well as in person, and they knew it was me since they moved here just to follow me, and they live in my same city. Despite lying about where they live and their age and what they look like, and other creepy shit, like if their parents are alive or not, and that they had ADHD when they don't, and that they're shy when they're not. They also have a tendency of being so highly manipulative that they actually fake actions just to make themselves look how they want to others. All hidden behind calm soft-spoken tones. They also liked to say "if at all" a lot. They like to gas light me and hide to others what they did by repeating things so people don't know the accurate time of events. Police also help them to cover up the severe crimes they committed and I've been stalked and harassed for years by police, too. I wanted to be left alone and I didn't get that. I wanted my privacy and I didn't get that. The one person has finally after years left me alone, but others have not.
Darling! Leave them all
You deserve better❤
Soooo
Obviously this is not in context when close is the norm but must be modified like in lifts, subway throngs or drunken crowds at a concert.
.....where touching, holding and invading space would be mistaken for the situation,
no more than blaming it all on Christmas.
When watching this I think of when I play RDR2 and I get too close invade npcs personal space, and they react to it, its so realistic
Funny
When someone says back off, respect it.
I think if you make this challenge in2021 that will be dangerous
do you know the backstage music? I really want it ,or I can't sleep at all😭😭😭
小丸子 did you ever find the song
the song is called Changing the World by Camille Beluze and Sylvain Lux
@@savannahyoast5053 the song is called Changing the World by Camille Beluze and Sylvain Lux
Yooooo, 3:38 he thought he was about to get some action
I’d probably ask if she’s trying to hug me or what? I wear a free hugs shirt and hug people who want one. It doesn’t bother me.
Name presenter please ?
Close before Covid19
“You’re too close cheers” so is cheers a way of saying sorry or being polite or what?
Sort of ‘bye’ (or: you leave now)
and if you go too close to me with your friendly smile, i can accept you in my intimate zone, because i somehow feel you are not dangerous, interesting
If someone punched her or pepper sprayed her would they be in the wrong
funny
This is supposed to be on bbc two not bbc three
Mr Meeseeks look at meee
This isn’t funny, some people have endured abuse or have issues to where they will react in a “not as well” manner in return! This is scary !
do not do that to a american push your way in our face.we dont like it.and some of us will let you no it quick
For real tho, people need to back the f up.
I would go with her ❤
AHAHAHAHAHAHAA
She's cute, I'd let her get as close as she wanted. It would have been funny if she'd done that to a guy and he tried to kiss her. :)
?
@@Scoil_Ming_gan_trocaire Which word didn't you understand?
Annoying
2b2t and mrbeast
She came too close with only one male and he was black. So thats why the channel's name is BBC
I dont think its a problem for men as long as youre a woman and youre hot enough! Lol!
If she wasn't a woman hmmmmm the police, custody and so on
The creepy behavior men usually display. Demonstrates it really well.
1st
the first time I have ever had first comment!
well done.
Terrible examples. Way too exaggerated. In the real world people have small differences in personal space needs so you can be too close or too far without knowing it. You usually are.
This is like teaching people not to burn pizza by shooting a flamethrower into the oven. No subtlety or understanding of how complicated this is.
This is pretty awful
I would've grabbed a quick kiss lol. She's a cutie
dswang007 That's because you're thirsty as fuck, nerd.
Lesbian show is going on
