I think this part really highlights a cultural shift that can be tough for people to adjust to when moving abroad.

In the US, physical boundaries are respected differently, and it might feel overwhelming to navigate a new space where touch and closeness are so ingrained in daily interactions.

That said, it's fascinating to see how quickly comfort zones expand once you settle into a different culture’s norms.

Thanks for sharing!
