Respecting personal space of people - Proxemics
Broadly four zones are identified for a person
Intimate 0 - 2 ft.
Personal 2 - 4 ft.
Social 4 - 12 ft.
Public more than 12 ft.
Business relationship start in social zones. As the relationship develops, personal zone may be used.
If you try to get into personal space and interact without developing a proper relation and context, the other person can get offended.
