How close do you stand to your friends?

Question

Like, while sitting or standing and talking or walking together? What's the eye contact like?

I just noticed this, and I find it honestly depends on the level of comfort and trust with the other person. With one of my friends, we were in the hallway and stopped to talk (we were going different directions) and the two of us stand INCREDIBLY close when were together.

Like, if I moved just a bit, our noses would touch, and (though you may find it creepy) we're literally at a kissing distance and whenever we stop and talk like this we both look DIRECTLY into each others eyes and don't break eye contact. Were both soooooooo comfortable and "in-tune" around each other that we always use intense eye contact and sometimes just stare at each other, while being 2centemeters apart and don't say anything because we can verbally communicate through our eyes by now... Like we don't even need to talk, we just feed off the eye contact and physically closeness......

But with other friends I still don't like standing close to them or looking at them for two long... 
Why is that?

Sounds like you want to be intimate with this person and may be lying to yourself about it.  Otherwise it's odd.

I need my personal space, so I stand a few inches back. Shoulder-to-shoulder would give me the creeps.

Friends that are guys, within a foot give or take, when walking or standing.

Friends that are girls, close enough to brush arms when walking or standing.

If I don't know you, it's automatically a foot.

This is generally speaking though.
