Me, I have real problems when a stranger stands too close. Anything within my arm's reach annoys me and puts me on alert. Then again I'm a tall skinny guy and keeping distance is tactically important if/when I need to defend myself. If I'm in a line, I tend to stand askew, so I can see the people behind me in peripheral vision.

How does your bubble's radius change, if say you're carrying?
I guess I didn't see the last line. If I'm carrying my bubble radius becomes much smaller. Touching distance is never cool unless it's a chick or an extremely crowded place like a concert though(which I don't carry during those or crowded bars anyway).

If I'm not carrying, I feel like I have to keep the bubble much bigger in order to escape possible situations that might arise. Carrying gives me more options period.
