In other words, this is not limited to invading somebody's personal space:

"Personal Boundaries
One, you are unaware of personal “boundaries”. Boundaries are those invisible barriers that tell others where they stop and where you begin. People who have been shamed don’t know they have the right to set personal boundaries. Shame-based relationships system (relationships that communicate condemning messages) have told them that they’re selfish to have private limits."
