Where Should I Stand?

Where Should  I Stand? 

It's hard to know how close you should stand when you are with other people.  

If you are talking to someone, it's a good idea to stand an arm's length away. That's also a good distance if you're standing in line. 

It's ok to get close to people you know every well like your best friend or your brother. 

It's ok to hug people you know very well, like your parents or grandparents. 

If you're not sure what to do, just ask, "am I standing too close to you?" You could also say, "do you need some space? "
