NetLogo: calculate distance to other turtles and make them dissatisfied if another turtle is too close

I sprouted my turtles over the patches and in the 'go' I want each turtle to calculate if another turtle is too close (based on a certain threshold of X meters/patches). If another turtle is too close, i want the turtle to become 'dissatisfied'. Movements of the turtles are not required.

What is the best way to do this? The only piece of code for the go procedure I have so far is as follows:

to go
  ask n-of initial-number-tourists (patches with [ lagoon_proximity = 1])
  [
    sprout 1 [
      set color black
      set size 10
    ]
  ]
tick 
end

Kind regards!

Your code is creating more turtles and doesn't have anything about checking distances so it is not clear how it is related to the problem you are trying to solve. However, the following code measure the distance to the nearest turtle and prints a message if that is less than 5.

ask turtles
[ let nearest min-one-of turtles [distance myself]
  if distance nearest < 5 [ show "I feel crowded" ]
]
