Is it normal that i hate physical touch?

I REALLY don't like physical touching. Either me touching people or them touching me. I'm okay with high-fives and hand shakes but not holding hands or hugs etc. It makes me so uncomfortable but I feel like I should like it. Is it normal?

    At least you do handshakes... I had a guy interviewing for a job at my workplace. Bastard didn't even shake my hand. He said he didn't like physical contact. That's a gross sign of disrespect! Especially at a workplace! Just fucking shake my damn hand! I don't like being stuck in traffic, but do I blow up cars in my way to get by? No, I sit and wait with the rest of the traffic! Needless to say, I didn't give him the job. Oh, and before we left, I deliberately grabbed and shaked his hand to say goodbye and better luck next time.

    Sometimes you have to do something you don't like for the sake of moving things along. You are not some special snowflake everyone has to be cautious around. Treat people the way you want to be treated.

      Yeah, I totally get the respect thing. I'll do it when necessary but I prefer not to that's all.

    If your name isn't Kate and you don't live with me, don't touch me.

    Yep I am the same.

    People may confuse my love of sex with wanting to be touched, but no. Touch is too intimate. Stay away.

    Some people are like that. My former business associate was a hot, petite, sweet-smiled woman who guys just felt the need to touch, even guys she didn't know. She usually avoided it or flat-out said no, then telling me how much she hated, hated being touched. We'd hug often, but that was it, and we were very good friends.

    Since she was petite and cute, she'd say things like "Guys think they can just come up and touch me..Like they want to put me in their pocket because I'm short". Well, that was part of it, but mostly..She was a little hottie and guys had to get their hands on her.

        Most were. We'd be at a function, like a meeting or mixer or something, and yeah..Guys she/we didn't even know would start chatting with us (well, her), and put their hands on her back, wrap around her waist for a pic, and, of course, the nice to meet you hug, which she often backed away from. If a guy we knew or not was getting too handy or just had the look of a hound, I'd intervene and protect her. I knew they didn't want to talk to me as long as they wanted to talk to or be next to her, so my getting in the way worked well.

      LOL that was a freemason ritual and you missed it. it wasnt meant for you at all. it was for brother masons . Trump is of the jesuit order like his daddy was. his role in life is to buy buildings using bank loans for the money . in this manner the banks buy property . he is higher up on the pyramid than the clintons were.

    Unsure whether it's normal or not but I'm the same. My boyfriend loves cuddles so that's not easy.
