Proximity ~Want to be Close~

"Proximity" is an addicting drug. Once you're deprived of it, you're going to be insane.


Before I proceed, let me clarify that the term 'Close Proximity' exhibits redundancy, as 'proximity' is defined as 'nearness in space'. The correct usage would be "Close, in proximity to."


One of the rules of emotional attraction would be proximity. Humans tend to be attracted to people not only close to them in terms of distance, but how emotionally close they are to the person. One example would be the transition from friends to lovers. Commonly, this would entail a heavy compatibility, having known wants, needs, and dislikes, but there are some who would not push through the relationship and would wish back to just being friends.


Most people fall in love with someone they meet in a place they are commonly available, like in school, the neighborhood, or at work. As they  kept on being visually available, it tends to create some sort of 'attraction'. People would most likely tag it as 'like', but remember to evaluate it first before jumping the gun.


Sudden lack of proximity, after being exposed for so long, can cause someone distress. It is not uncommon that one would express their depression after not being able to be close to someone they like.


One suggestion would be to confront them about it. Discuss this with someone you are comfortable with, or just discuss it with the one you are 'liking'. By then you can evaluate the feeling and put judgement on it. Another would be to 'suck it up' and bear with it. Not a good option, but it's recommended for people who don't want to break or touch anything or for people with not-so-high courage.
