But a lot of those boundaries are learned, and most people are not as sensitive as they would like to be. While Americans feel uncomfortable with people standing too close, many other cultures feel uncomfortable with people that speak too loudly or smile too much.
- zozbot234 7y agoThese are different levels of discomfort, though. Speaking too loudly and smiling too much are clear violations of politeness; they might mean that people will distrust you or think that you're acting silly (especially the "smiling too much" one). But they aren't going to avoid you altogether like women would avoid Asimov.
