I cringe when my family tells me how much they love me. I dont know why i put them thru a lot during my heroin addiction and now have a pretty good relationship with my family i guess. But i dont like when they show they care. Hug me. Tell me they love me ect... im not like this with guys i date or talk to thou

    i don't really cringe i dont think, but it's always kind of sour when your mom hugs you and is so glad to see you but all the girls you wanted to be like that arn't.

    Is it possible to talk to them about needing more personal space or whatever? Maybe if they love you like they say they can respect your wishes?

    Some people just prefer to be alone and don't like being close to others and give or receive affection, like schizoids. I don't know if you're anything like that, but you're not weird for disliking affection either way. If it's a problem for you, talk to a professional, if it's not, keep living your life :)
