Is it normal that i dont like physical contact?

Is it normal that i dont like to be touched? And i mean ANY type of physical contact.i dont like hugs, kisses,holding hands, massages,pats on the back/shoulder, hair cuts even, I mean i can at least IGNORE manicures theyre almost soothing actually depending on whether she talks to me or not, for some reason i hate when the ladies try small talk. But as far as any other physical contact i HATE it. I can TOLERATE it to the point where ill ask politely for them to stop. Sadly even to my friends family and ESPECIALLY boyfriend. My poor boyfriend probably feels isolated by me when i do that. I feel horrible after but not horrible enough to not warn him or other people before hand haha.i dont know i like making love to my boyfriend but i dont like kissing while doing it. If im not the one to initiate the physical contact i somewhat panic...

    are you okay, I mean are you one of those people that spazz over germs and physical contact? or you're always in a bad mood?

    You sound a lot like you may have some issues with intimacy, which is "normal" in a lot of ways but not very good for your psychological health and the health of your relationship with your boyfriend. But sometimes this is something you can deal with in therapy (honestly, therapy is so good for everyone, and not enough people ever get it because they think it's embarrassing) and other times this is something you can slowly get over for whatever reason. If you have experienced any sort of trauma, whether it's sexual or even just experiencing any big emotional losses in your life, it could cause this. I would not say that it is something "abnormal" that you should feel weird or badly about but I don't think it's something you should just accept that you will have to live with forever. People naturally crave contact so this reaction is definitely something that has been learned as a defense mechanism from your life experiences. Personal counseling would be good, and if it gets bad enough with your bf, then relationship counseling. Good luck!!

    I'm like that, but that because I went through some traumatic stuff in my life.
    Didn't anything happen to you, to make you feel this way?

    Whether or not I like being touched depends on who's touching me and why. For instance I don't like some creep at the office giving me unsolicited neck and shoulder massages but I LOVE getting body massages from a professional massage therapist.

    So, umm... Were you always like this? Did you experience trauma in your childhood and or are you somewhere on the Autism spectrum?

    I dont know where it stems from. It just kind of gradually hit me after i was about 13-14 years old. And yeah stuff happened to me when i was little but thats life everyone went through some type of traumatic situation when they were little..
