I read a lot of posts here about awareness and preventing someone from getting too close to you. In a suitable situation, I fully understand this, but keeping distance as a rule?? Some of you have said that letting someone get 20 ft or 10 ft away from you is close enough (I think I have even read the word "never"). Maybe I don't understand how this is possible. If you have made that type of a claim, ... do you walk on the sidewalk in towns, or are you constantly stepping far clear of people walking past you? Do you go into malls or supermarkets? Do you live in extreme rural areas, or maybe you know everyone in your town?
I live in a small city. I pass closely by most people on the sidewalk, I pass people in aisles in the supermarket, and I try to be aware of my surroundings the best I can. I grew up in a small town, with parents who did not lock the door at night. Even as their child, I NEVER understood that! As I have moved out and moved on, I have made changes in my life. Still, I would like to learn more about situational awareness.
