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?
Ha, i know what you mean.
Being touched makes me feel violated. :)
Im very individual so i love my personal space. I adore it. I hate people intruding it.
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 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.
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 ;)
Try this ..Hate Doctors touching me..... just think of the things they do.. I can't help it I go into a absolute rage.They are strangers after all
The feeling may or may not happen at that moment but it starts to build..and right after....Anger...And add doctors personal questions to that.. look out. And the attitude that they do this everyday and think nothing of it. WELL they need to think Not everyone feels the same.
I am a shy person and I hate being touched. I don't mind my husband touching me and I'm okay with my two kids touching me (6 and almost 4 years old.) I have my limits though, I don't like my kids climbing all over me, but I'm sure a lot of people can relate with that though.
My thing is being at work and having to do team building activities where we will all have to hold hands. The thought of holding people's hands grosses me out. I don't know why but I try to avoid it at all costs.
Family members outside of my home, I don't like hugging them. If I do hug them, it's a one arm, quick hug. I can kind of sense that they notice it but don't say anything. Maybe it's just my imagination.
actually it is normal, but to some extend it is not normal. Normally, being touched is a good thing. One of those things to be enjoyed...not one of those things to hate! You are normal cuz of this doubt in you (am I normal or not? ahhahaaaa. You hate it cuz it is a new thing in your world and you feel uncomfortable when they touch you. And this is normal, cuz naturally people like comfort! But some comfort zones are dangerous to some extend because they can stop personal development. So, practice it more times with your friends and relatives...and them once you feel you LIKE their touches instead of HATING them, then you will be ready to be touched by anyone and like it instead of hating it. Otherwise, a touch is just a touch, there is nothing in it to hate it for!!! Note that Here I meant a touch of good intentions. that touch which has power to heal! I didn't mean a touch of bad intentions! The problem you have is in your unconscious mind...your unconscious relates all touches to harmful to you (even those which heal people) because it has not trained to feel it positively. this is why I advised you to practice it with your friends and relatives. then, your unconscious mind will create a positive pattern with touches. And, it is only at this stage that you will be ready to be touched without fear or hate! People who didn't develop a positive pattern with touches when they were young do all feel like the way you feel...until they practice it with people close to them! young people who experienced touches of their family have developed in their unconscious mind this positive pattern with touches. That is why, their enjoy being touched by others.Disadvantages to them: sometimes they enjoy touches of people with bad intentions.
ohhh i touch your tralala oohhh your ding ding dingdong LALALALALALALALALALALALALALA
If you don't like being touched so much then touch them back to feel like you had revenge.
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.
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.
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 dont mean to place weird thoughts in your mind, but could be a form of Asperger's Syndrome.
Yes, i get that to, but for some reason, i'm ok with friends touching me like hugs and stuff, but not my bros... not sure why... is this weird?
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.
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'm the same way, it creeps me out when people touch me. I'm sure there are reasons for this, maybe Google it ;)
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.
A lot of people don't like to be touched for some reason its normal. People don't like to touch me because they say my skin is Ice cold
I think it's normal, a girl I know is exactly like that, it makes her really, really uncomfortable.
Perfectly normal, dont worry, there are times when no one likes to be touched in any way, what is it you dont like, are you afraid of something??
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.
i think u were sexually abused when u were too young 7- so so ur mind grow up in a way that makes u not liked to be touched scared of what happened to happen again
