All my friends are very touchy and don't have problems jumping on top of each other, leaning on each other, hugging each other, sitting/laying on each other,and other things. I myself am very uncomfortable being close to people I don't know EXTREMELY well. I always get teased by my friends for giving those awkward one armed hugs,or moving over when someones too close, but I just don't feel comfortable..Is it normal to be this protective of personal space?

    there are exceptions though. My dog can never touch me too much and neither can my neices and nephews that are like under the age of 10. I'm always body slamming or putting them in a headlock or hugging them. Adults, go AWAY!!!

    I am the same way. If i am going to a family gathering then i think its appropiate to touch cause you havent seen the jerks in forever but otherwise its like go away. I get teased about that as well by my barber and my friends at church. My barber is always doing that stupid hand+roll into embrace thing as well and i never do. I dont get it. he see's me every week, howd you miss me and have to touch me? Same theory at church. you just saw me last week... nothing traumatic happened. Oh and if they mention something like " oooohhh...you smell good...whats that cologne?" i am REALLY weirded out even though i love cologne and have over 15 bottles.

    I always want my personal space, if anyone comes up to me and lays on me of give me a hug I just have this feeling like "who do you think you are" but I always just put on a smile and pretend I dont mind so that I dont get seen as wierd. I only give one armed hugs and thats only when im pushed into a situation to keep my nice image in tact.
