Not liking to be touched.

Post Reply New Topic

I'm indifferent to being touch BUT, my cousin who, the one who loves bleech, he doesn't like to be touched. I feel kind of odd and sad when I leave his place that he doesn't hug me. He does walk me to my car though and that feels nice.

I am alright with shaking hands or a tap in the back however i don't particularly like physical touch as this makes me extremely anxious and my anxiety starts to kick in.

Now I think about it...

I have a long distance relationship and my girlfriend is coming to move here. It's going to take some time for me to get used to the whole touching thing in a relationship.... holding hands, holding each other (how do you even do that?) and kissing and so on. I'm sure it'll come naturally, but I've never experienced this sort of thing before and it's going to be weird for me to begin with. She'll understand though.

I really do not like to be touched. And it goes both ways, I never physically touch others. It just is not my thing at all.

I put no because I used to hate it. After I had a couple of serious relationships I relaxed a bit and now enjoy being 'feather touched' by a partner but when people I'm acquaintances with touch me without warning I have a moment of panic and don't know how to react or if it goes on for too long I start to feel uncomfortable. Having said that I've always felt like a weirdo so when a female friend or one of my girlfriend's friends touches me on the arm or pats me on the head or something I've started to take that as a flattering compliment, like it's something they wouldn't do as women if I was half the goon I sometimes write myself off as.

I dont like touch when:
- It is unexpected or I dont know what the other person is going to do
- It is from someone who I dont trust
- It is light
- It is required (I have no choice)
- The other person is surrounding me with a hug

I don't even like to SEE physical contact.

No, I really don't like being touched. If someone in my family wants to hug mw, I'll bear it, but it still feels uncomfortable. I don't like giving out hugs, holding hands, or making out.
