I'm comfortable with being affectionate with those I am in a relationship with or want to persue but I get insanely grossed out by others being romantic/affectionate/sexual around each other. If I see kissing or people cuddling I physically feel sick and i have no idea why. Like, I would never tell anyone to not do PDA around me, it's not my place and I have no say in what someone does, but it still makes me cringe. I'm all for free expression and expressing love for one another, but I literally can't help but feel uncomfortable. Maybe its a trauma thing. I have no idea.

    I don't feel physically ill from it, but I also find it gross and uncomfortable. Don't know why.

    It depends on the the degree when in public and the place. A quick kiss and holding hands is not a big thing. Major wrap up with french kissing is.

    The area of the airport where flight passengers can meet people waiting for them is an exception. There it's not uncommon to see some major kissing, hugging, etc. Those people may not have seen each other in a long time.

      I love being in the arrivals lounge at the airport. I'm an immigrant so I'm usually waiting on someone I haven't seen in a very long time, and while I'm waiting I find watching other people having their own happy reunions is a very heartwarming way to pass the time.

    It depends on the situation if it’s appropriate, and to what degree, but if it makes you physically ill, I think you have a deeper issue.

      Its mostly when people do more than a quick hug or kiss. And baby talk especially (yes I know that is verbal affection)

        Then I don’t blame you. Making out in public isn’t cool.
