Does anyone here avoid touch

Post Reply New Topic

What I mean is certain areas of the body. I will not allow anyone to touch my sternum. Women I have been with always want to lay their head on my chest and I can't allow them to lay it directly on my sternum without having a bit of a panic attack and having the area not exactly hurt but feel really weird. Sometimes clothing causes the feeling as well.

Yes. I generally don't like to be touched, especially lightly. But, the frontal region of my hips are especially sensitive to the point of being painful.

I would rather get punched in the head than have someone give me a suprise hug.

Hate being touched by anyone. Always makes me shudder

I also do not like to be touched. It is a common aspie trait.

i dont consciously think about avoiding it, but if someone touches me i usually recoil. feel bad they might think i think their gross or something. touching is uncomfortable, but its easy enough to escape. dont have pain from it.

I don't like soft touching, stroking especially.
I don't like people touching my head/hair.
I don't like my nose being touched.
And there are times when any touching like hugging bothers me.

The only person allowed to touch me is my wife and it can never be light touch. I would rather she claw the blood out of me than light touch.

I hate surprise hugs, while watching TV hugs, light touch and hip touches too.
That pretty much covers it.

I hate surprise touches, especially on my back.

I dislike hugs.

Yeah, I dont like it.

A family member once hugged me at a funeral and I asked them to take their hands off me.

Yeah, though it doesn't come up much. If there is someone I'm very familiar with, and there's warning, I can sometimes deal with it. I always shake when people touch me, though, whether I mind the person or not.

I talked to someone (on the spectrum) once who said in the right situation with his SO, he could sometimes steer the 'intensity' to the edge of being overwhelming such that it was overwhelming in a positive way.

I cannot bear hugs, kisses or 'reassuring' touches on the back. Prodding and hitting is not nearly as bad.

The only person I would ever like to hug or kiss is my crush, so there is an exception.

I am extremely sensitive about my xiphoid. Never really knew why, but I have an irrational fear of it breaking off.

Constantly.

My worst areas seem to be things brushing against my arms and legs.

I hate things touching my fingertips and the undersides of my arms. I type and touch things with my nails as much as possible and a jacket so nothing else has to touch the inside of my arms.

When I was little I was overly touchy with people. I don't know why it changed.

I don't like to be touched either. If a woman I liked touched me, it would be fine. Otherwise, better hands off.
