Don't Touch Me.

I really dislike being touched. The occasional hug is okay if I know the other person very well, but I cannot stand it when people touch me otherwise; or even get too close. Is there a reason for this? Or is it just me?

thank god im not the only one like this...lol
i am the same way..The only person i like touchin me is my boyfriend. My family has never been the mushy lovey lovey type. So im not used to it. And i HATE HATE HATE it when people touch my face. It makes me wanna beat the sht out of them. Its jus annoying. And i hate it if ANYBODY kisses me (except my boyfriend of course).. I just get soooo irritated. And what i hate the worst is when people touch me with while im trying to sleep. I used to share a room with my sister and i used to get soooo mad at her when her leg or arm would touch me. Id get where id even sleep on the floor or the couch. I like Cuddling with a guy or my neices but NOBODY else. It jus drives me INSANE!! sooo yah..if its not normal...then we are abnormal together ;)

I love hugging family or close friends (or boyfriend), but I hate being touched by strangers. It just makes me cringe when a stranger touches me. I don't like people brushing against me on the bus, but I really hate having a stranger hug or pat me. It's an invasion of my personal space, and I almost want to smack them. I have social anxiety (not from being abused or anything, it's just the way I am), and it really stresses me out to have strangers get in my personal space.

Nothing wrong with you, I don't go in for the touchy feely crap either, who said that some complete stranger can have the same level of contact as a close friend or family member? A kid is happy with a high-five, and elderly person might break something, a parent sees you all the time, in fact the only people I hug are longtime friends I have not seen in some time and my girlfriend because I REALLY REALLY like her. Anybody else hugs me and they better be drunk or unable to stand up.

I'm not afraid of anything, I just don't like it. And I don't have some past of being abused or anything like that. I just don't like people touching me.

I think it's normal, a girl I know is exactly like that, it makes her really, really uncomfortable.

In all seriousness, I like being touched. Now I'm not trying to be "sexual" although that type of touching is fine too depending on who its coming from.

I am a very touchy, feely kind of guy. I often give my friends belly or back pats, shoulder squeezes, etc. I am very affectionate and as I get to know someone I get a better idea on how receptive they are to this.

On occasion, somewhat rarely, I do encounter individuals that do not like being touched.

I wouldn't worry about it. Its just the way you are.

I'm the same way, it creeps me out when people touch me. I'm sure there are reasons for this, maybe Google it ;)

It's perfectly normal. Basically, it's an invasion of your personal space. People tend to relax a bit more with the issue as they get older.

I know the feeling and am continually puzzled by people who have a need to be continuously hugged and touched. Likewise, those same people tend to be puzzled by my dislike for all the touching.

I dont mean to place weird thoughts in your mind, but could be a form of Asperger's Syndrome.

I have this feeling too. I don't really like when people in school touch me. I only get that feeling in school though anywhere else I am usually ok.

I feel the same way, I hate to be touched. I don't feel normal. This is not normal. People touch me and I freeze up. I resist hugs. Sometimes it almost feels like I want to cry when I get touched. I'm hyperaware of it when I am touched. I get tense, I panic, and all I can think about is getting away from the sensation. Sometimes it almost physically hurts when I am touched. I've never been sexually or physically abused, and I have no explanation for why I'm like this. I hate it, because there are times I need to be touched, when I do need a hug, and I can't reach out for that, much less accept it when it's offered. It doesn't matter who is touching me, My mom has tried to hug me on numerous occasions, and the experiences are always unpleasant. It's not about space, I can stand close to other people. That doesn't bother me. It's not about skin, because wearing long sleeves or not makes no difference. I am so confused.

I don't like being touched period. If someone brushes up against me on accident, it makes me shiver. I hate it. It feels like there's a gigantic weight being put on my chest or I'm going to fall through the floor. I avoid all physical contact at all costs all the time.

My mom and I are the same way, my mom and I can hug eachother, we don't find eachother or our close friends. But with others, it's annoying and creepy... Don't know how, don't know why, just know, we don't like it.

If you don't like being touched so much then touch them back to feel like you had revenge.

I guess there is no rule saying you must be touched or touch any one, but you may be missing out on some wonderful life experiences, i love holding my wife and touching her in many different ways and she the same back. I love holding my daughter and rocking he to sleep, as a human i need other human contact and some of it physical with the right people , its part of my make up.
