Post Reply New Topic

Anybody hate shaking hands, only time i have done it are in very important situations 99 % of the rest of the time i avoid it by saying i dont shake hands.Im not a good lierer so making things up doenst usually work I hate the thougts it gives me when i do have to shake hands.

I also never hug or let anyone touch me. So anybody have a good way of telling people so you can get out of that situation.

Yes and No - they have to be genuine

I don't like it when people I don't like or trust touch me.

Shaking hands is fine..hugging is a different thing to me..depends on the person but for the most part it makes me very uncomfortable.
If I catch the drift of where you're going with this..my wife and I don't sleep in the same bed, my space is invaded, doesn't mean I don't love her and it doesn't mean the rest of the contact isn't there. It just means constant nearness isn't a real good thing for me. She is an exception to the hugging nearness and I don't think I've shaken her hand, ever, I think I'll surprise her.

Im not a big fan of shaking hands or hugging but...... if its like..... ummm the thing to be done at that time.... i'll do it

I don't mind shaking hands with others aslong as it's for a good reason.
Hugs, I don't really enjoy.

I always give my son hugs and although i dislike other people hugging me i can ignore the fact quite well.One thing that really goes through me is people touching my hands i have always pulled my hands away if people have tryed to touch them ever since i can remember.I would not hold hands to cross roads so i was aloud to hold onto the back of a jacket instead.

Mhm, now that I think about it, I haven't been hugged much. I don't mind if my family hugs me, like my mum or nanna, but if it's anyone else, I'd get angry.

i don't literally hate either but i don't like them much, too
i think it's a cultural thing, we don't hug much but when my american relatives come over then i've barely had time to say "Hello" when they grab me in their arms and even worse, kiss me on both cheeks. and they do it every day when we meet during the whole time they are here not just meeting the first time and getting emotinal. and most times it doesn't even feel sincere.
but i play along as well as i can.

i only like hugging when i'm...prepared
and with very a few very close people

I've always been an atypical aspie since I love hugging, cuddling, shaking hands and all that. In fact, in the past, I've been the one that made others (including NTs) uncomfortable by initiating such actions. But I've learned to restrain myself and to know when it's appropriate to do such things.

I've never been too keen on touching others and others touching me.

I don't mind shakin hands or huggin but i don't particularly like ppl touchin me as i feel very uncomfortable as i do need my personal space at tyms.

Yes and no... i hate shaking hands HATE IT... i love hugs if they are tight... i do not like general light touch...

pretty much all around pressure lover

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

I hate shaking hands and hugs are just for special people and not too much or too often.

I dislike it when people who know I have Aspergers insist on hugging me, maybe they think they will cure me or they think they are being kind. Its just so wrong. Ugh. Don't do it.

Shaking hands I have managed to turn into a totally impersonal action, so I don't have trouble with it.

The thing is... here it is considered correct protocol to kiss people, well, not really people, it looks like kissing is the only way allowed to greet a woman/girl , it is actually dumb, I think. All my most awkward times involved this...

I gotta say I like actually like hugs, though not many people hug me. It makes me feel wanted in this world.
