I interpret globe of invulnerability's "around you" to mean "centered on you" with respect to the 10' radius of the barrier. This agrees with the interpretation that the shape of the globe is a sphere as indicated by both the word globe and the specification of a 10' radius emanating from the caster as the point of origin. It also agrees with the rules for spherical areas of effect which state, "The sphere's size is expressed as a radius in feet that extends from the point" which tells us how big the sphere is, and that "A sphere's point of origin is included in the sphere's area of effect" which tells us that no matter how big the point of origin is, it doesn't make the sphere any larger than what has been defined by the radius.Whats nonsense is your interpretation that something that is 'an X radius around a person (the caster)', can literally be inside the person if the caster is bigger than X. Or now you're trying to argue the magic also shrinks the caster to fit inside it as well as the spell effect.
Your interpretation leads to an absurd result, and thus is to be ignored, in favor of one that doesnt.
