Is it normal to be entirely repulsed by human contact

41% Normal
9 Comments

I hate being touched by others, and the very feeling of it makes me feel nauseous. I don't want family members hugging me or touching my head, and I don't want any of my peers being physically near me in any way.
People have to be at least 4-5 feet away from me for my to stress levels to start going down. Any closer than that, and I somehow find an excuse to escape, and I run off into complete isolation until I calm down (which can take a while).

Is this normal?

    Seek psychiatric help.

    Sounds like Asperger syndrome.

    maybe you should see a counselor about it, there are a lot of places in life you'll have to be around people

    Completely normal, I'm the exact same way. I rarely touch my own family members, let alone non-relatives. This actually makes things difficult at work or in my (admittedly limited) social life, because a lot of people don't get it.

    I think it is normal for ppl to hate being touched in some places and ways. If you touch my stomach, hips, butt area, boob area, lower back, upper arms, or inner or upper thighs; or pat/tap me too roughly, swat me nonchalantly, touch me possesively, squeeze any part of me in any way, or touch or push me roughly, I. Will. Want. To. Light. You. On. Fire.

    Yes, completely normal. I hate being touched too! Like it's more of a germ thing to me though. But when people stand to close I feel anxious and I get really nervous. It is definitely not autism or asperges. People are dicks. It's called having a comfort zone and everyone is different.

    Are you on the autism spectrum?

    Not wanting to be touched by others and being a bit stressed when around people is normal, but what you describe sounds like it could be more of a problem for you than it should be.
