Shaking hands and Hugging and Touching

Post Reply New Topic

I really hate handshaking. Its too personal, too soon. And I dont like having someone elses skin on mine unless I specifically want the contact or feel close to them.

I don't mind hugs, I could probably use more of them actually. I would mind it if they tried pulling back while still gripping me to look at my face and talking to me that close. That's just to close, if I don't know the person I'd freak out.

I also don't mind a quick, in passing, handshake. But I dislike the more lengthy intimate handshake, particularly when they look you in the eye and squeeze your hand as hard as they can. It's almost domineering.

oh....I hate hugs......from people I don't know so well.....sometimes when someone tries to hug me, I will flat out refuse...it causes a stress reaction in my stomach...gives me the heebeejeebees...inevitably....

I do like hugging and cuddling but only with my boyfriend.

I have gotten better with handshakes over time...I always give a good firm handshake, (just so that the shakee does not have a chance to respond with a limp clammy one that will mess with my senses...I am the one squeezing the hand..and i will often initiate it, because I know i will be expected to do something and want to make the moment as un-akward as possible.

I love tight hugs, and giving them to people. :O)

When in doubt, ask an autistic. Chances are, they're obsessed with what you need to know.

Autism Speaks will NEVER speak for me

CLASSIC AUTISM

One of my step fathers family members a female one did this thing a book told me women should do when going in to shake hands. She started walking like twenty feet off with hand out to shake mine.... Also sometimes women use is as a way to get to touching right away w/ guys they like thats what popped into my head right away b/c she was so smiley and happy which is weird for someone who shows up unexpected to meet me and well I was less than presentable at the time so I hid in my room, don't really mind hand shakes do mind extra reasons for touching that aren't readily apparent.

I enjoy contact (with girls), but find the mechanics of it awkward. Like the complex handshakes that teenagers use, I have problems coordinating that but have no reservations about doing it.

I'll do them, but I DON'T enjoy it or know when it's approipate!

Only when I'm on the recieving end of it. I never offer a hug or to shake one's hand, because I simply don't know when to do so. -.- Or who to do it to, for that matter.

I don't like it when people hug me without warning, either. It scares the crap out of me.

I voted no. I don't hate it, but I'm not fond of it either. I don't like surprize hugs but if a person asks for one or seems to be upset, I sometimes give them a hug just for their sake. On some occasions I may ask for a hug. I'll also note it is family members I give hugs to. Strangers, I don't hug... Sometimes strangers want to give me hugs (people that my parents/grandma may know). I'll let them if they ask me first. If they don't I may try to tell them to ask first the next time.

Hand shakes, I don't know who invented that concept, but I just go along with it... Before eating I make sure to wash my hands. Who knows where that hand has been or how many hands it shook before touching mine.

I guess it makes a great way to share viruses...

No I don't hate either because I'm used to it.

I don't hate it, I just dislike it.

I never take the initiative of shaking someone's hand, but if the other person does it, then I shake it.

Hugs are not pleasant but they don't hurt me either. I never give a hug. If someone I know gives me a hug, I try to be polite and hug him/her back, probably in a weird way because I'm not used to it.

I enjoy hugs a lot, but only when they come from someone I am familiar and close to. When it's from someone I don't know well, I'm usually distressed.

I HATE handshakes. They're frequent in my life and a nuisance. Despite the frequency in which I have to perform them, I never learn how to coordinate handshakes properly (especially some of the highly complex ones a lot of younger people use); and it's always extremely awkward.
