Is it normal that i hate being hugged?

Okay so aside from my fiance I REALLY can't stand being hugged. Not by close friends, co-workers, my family, my fiance's family. When I know I am arriving at an event (like say Christmas at my fiance's gramdma's) that I will be hugged over and over I experience some strong, strong anxiety and discomfort. I don't want the awkward hold of another. Of course I can't be rude so I have to deal with the hug. When I am upset or having a bad day the last thing I want is a co-worker or friend to simply try and "hold" me for a moment. I just can't stand hugs. Am I a total cold hearted freak or is this normal?

    I hate kissing relatives and friends on the cheeks, it's pretty much the same as hugging but you get less germs from
    it. I don't like hugging either, I keep it for someone I truly love like you do.

    I don't like hugs either.
    But I also don't like kissing with tongue or oral sex (giving or receiving) so idk if it's normal. Lol. But at least you're not alone!!
