When I approach strangers, I maintain a certain distance involuntarily, especially in social space And when this distance is passively shortened, a sense of insecurity and anxiety arises inside me, and it activates my sense of protection of my personal space Philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer linked this awareness to the “hedgehog effect” in nature, which refers to the phenomenon in which hedgehogs stay close to each other to keep warm when it is cold but keep a distance so as not to stab each other.
