I hate being touched

I hate being touched, by anyone. It freaks me out so much. If someone goes to touch me I jump, or do whatever I can to get away. Is this normal?
Do you think it's normal?

hi there, were you abused as a child in any way physically or mentally, or did you see something when you was young that scared you. It might be that something has happened that you have forgotten about or it could be just that you are not a touchy feely person, many people are like that.
Ladyoftheworld mentioned what came to me too, somewhere along the line, you relate being touched to an unpleasant incident that took place in your life. It may have been at a young age, but likely did occur.

Human beings for the most part are social creatures and welcome affection and touching. You may want to consider seeking professional help to sort out this issue otherwise it will more than likely impede your ability to have relationships in the future. People who experience what you describe are often self destructive and torpedo relationships before they even have a chance to develop. Seek help and good luck to you.
yes, there are many people who do not like the feel of someone else touching them..it's normal for many, but it depends, either your simply a tense person who should chill a little bit and maybe u dont haveto let people get intimate but a touch or a hug isnt bad every now and then, or if it relates to a traumatic incident you might have had in the past, seek proffesional help and try and find the cause of the problem.. either way, it is normal but you shoulod not live your life avodiing physical contact..
i have a kinda similar problem... i cant stand it if sum1 is walking up the stairs behind me it jus freaks me out. i think maybe it is sumthing to do with r childhood or sumthing in r past that has made us get freeked out by certain things. try going to see a psychiatrist to try and get to the bottom of it
hmph........
Yes i was molested as a child and i don't like being touched by anything or anyone. I don't leave my closet. I am typing this on a wireless laptop and am fed through a hole in the wall.
Were you ever hurt or touched by anyone in a wrong or hurtful manner in the past. If so this could be the cause. I know I've been there and it have been several years since it all happened to me and I am just now letting people in. Like hugs and kisses and holding hands and stuff. If this is the case with you it just takes time and you will always be very careful about who you let into your personal space. If it is something that is still happening or something you can control or fix do it now and don't wait because I found out if you wait too long it becomes too late to do anything about and nobody can really do anything about it then because nothing can be proven either way!!! Hope this helps and GOOD LUCK TO YOU!!!
Probably because the person behind you is staring at your ass.
Of course you do dickhead

But anwayz yes its normal..I like being touched..sensuality its great!Human affection
Oh god...
Wow, and I thought I had issues..
damn girl, who raped u?
idk if it's normal but i do the same thing. I just say it's because i'm ticklish which i am but i'm not sure that's why i jump. sometimes it is but i think it might be just because i'm afraid of people. I have no idea i'm sorry
