You kind of are. I mean, I've lived in Eastern Asia and Europe most of my life, so I don't mind too much, but I know most other people have a larger bubble of personal space. And while it's an effective way to get people's attention, once you have it you can back off a bit. Usually they won't run away. [Unless you have a knife or something in your hand.
