I absolutely hate affection. If someone tells me "I love you", it annoys me because I feel like I'm forced to say it back when I really don't want to half of the time. I've actually always felt weird saying "I love you". Don't know why, just how I am. I also hate hugs, kisses (not that anyone's kissing me), and lovey dovey shit. Matter of fact, I don't like people touching me, or being too close to me. If you are even slightly touching me, move your ass over. If you're too close, you better back the fuck up. I don't need people in my personal space. I also cringe if I see others being affectionate. I've been like this since I was a kid. Not only would it annoy me, but it would just make me feel weird. Is it normal that I despise affection and physical touch?

    You hate yourself more than people love you

      That's an odd assumption to make. Almost sounds like projection.

    I think it’s quite normal: fear of intimacy is at an all time high, people are more isolated and isolating than ever before, insular.

      I don't "fear" intimacy.

    Are you on the spectrum at all? I don't think a distaste for it this strongly is normal.

      Nope, not at all.
