When a person tries to hug me I get really scared, if they actually hug me I freak out. I feel like I could get strangled or if something bad were to happen I'd be stuck in the hug. I have no idea why, I trust people easily, I'm not claustrophobic, I have lots of friends, and I don't have space issues, but hugs really scare me! My boyfriend family and VERY close friends can hug me and I'm fine with it. If I tell anyone it makes them hug me more! Is this fear normal?

    Sounds like trust issues.
    You might trust their opinion, actions and things, but you can't near your body. Fine: some don't like their body's touched. If I'm touched in public, even by accident I'm very annoyed, but all I want to do is cuddle with boyfriend. I trust him around my body, others don't have that trust yet.
