^ A lot of autistics find hugs uncomfortable.
I actually melt down from unsolicited hugs and touching.
i only hug close family, and that seems ok, even nice at times, and other times it feels way too intense.

You kind of disgust me, to be honest.

You didn't say what you are saying disgusts me (which I still don't really understand why it would) you said you kind of disgust me. So it came off in a very hurtful manner. If I interpreted you incorrectly then I apologize, it's just that this has been weighing very heavily on my mind so I am sensitive about it.
