Is it normal that i'm super touchy-feely?

I've recently discovered that I'm a really touchy-feely person. If I like you and I’m comfortable around, I’ll always feel the need to randomly hug you or hold your hand. I like holding hands a lot, and I always like hugs that last a really long time. Or if me and someone else are watching TV together or something like that I’ll always feel the need to snuggle up close to them. I like getting really close to other people’s faces, like touch my nose to their cheek or my forehead to theirs. I’m always messing with my friends’ hair or playing with their fingers or just being really close to them. It really doesn’t matter to me if you’re a boy or a girl, because all this is in a totally un-sexual way, honestly. I don't know why, though, since I wasn't like this before. I suffer from depression and mild paranoia, and I think those might have something to do with it. Any help?

    I hate to break it to you, but you're just a waking sexual harrassment lawsuit bomb.

    You just described me! ;)
    Especially that snuggling on the couch thing. When I'm with a friend I trust, and we are watching a movie, I only feel comfortable if we are right beside each other. Snuggling is a movie watching essential!

      No, I'm not clingy at all actually, unless you mean literally.

    I grew up in a very restricted family. We were very close (my father and brother and I) but we never touched. My family doesn't kiss, or hug, or shake hands, or touch at all. Ever.

    I think this has something to do with the reason that I am so touchy feely myself, as I can't find another reason! What was your family like growing up?

      No! My family loves hugging and kissing and all that with each other, but I'm not like that with my immediate family, only with my extended family and my friends.

        Well then it's a mystery! Maybe your are just a super friendly person then! lolz

        Maybe it has to do with the comfort of being close to another human being. I know my anxiety is always calmer when I am close to another person, no matter who it is. (just spit balling here lolz)

    I think it's normal if you're a girl. Girls can act that way and the majority of people would not see it an inappropriate. If you're a guy than that is not so acceptable espcially to other guys.
    I'm totally on the other end of the spectrum I'm not a hugger or kisser at all even with close female friends. Heck as an adult I can't remember the last time I hugged my mum or kissed her. One time she brushed passed my head and ruffled my hair by accident, then smiled and did a playful head pat, hair ruffle thing. I even thought that was a little weird.
    The only people I am comfortable being affectionate with are my neices and nephew but they are kids, and its kind of like a thing we have; I get to their house and they run up and almost knock me down with multiple bear hugs.

      Yea, I'm a girl. And yea, I also find it weird with my parents. I'm not like this with my immediate family, only my extended family and my friends.

    If you're not making anyone uncomfortable then it doesn't matter. There's nothing wrong with touchy feely
