Is it normal to hate being touched?

I hate being touched.
I don't like hugs or even showing emotion towards anyone family included, I hate hugs, a friend of mine lost her Dad and I gave her a hug it was vile, I don't do tactile at all, I didn't like it when my parents hugged me or kissed me, why is this does anyone know. I feel disgusted and find it disgusting even to my own kids, I can hug my Grandson but thats it I can't bear it it makes me shudder just writing this.

    You may have high functioning autism, which is called aspergers syndrome. You may need to go deeper into your past to recall things from your childhood. Hypnosis may be beneficial for you. Were you ever molested or inappropriately touched?

    I hate the hello kiss on the cheek, it's like mandatory in my country. I hate those things because I feel fake whenever I do it. It's like not in my nature or something LOL

    My father is like this too. He's an extremely prickly man and you can see him visibly blanching if someone comes near him. We all put it down to his childhood and his personality. But that's to imply there's something wrong with him, when the actuality is just that people are different. What one person finds normal, another doesn't. It's unusual to be so against tactility, though.

    I have one person who can hug me or touch my back at all. I would rather be punched in the solar-plexus than get a massage. That one person for me is my wife and she flinched when she sees me in a hug mandatory setting. Says she can't believe anyone would attempt it twice its so obvious and makes the whole room colder. I had some bullshit in my childhood though so I've heard that can cause it

    Not really normal but sometimes i act the same way so guess it depends of how you feel.

    I was like that but learned to get over it, because ALL my aunts and uncles are huggers, and there's a lot of them!!

  • How do you have sex or maintain a healthy relationship? I, and certainly most, if not all men want girls they can hug and touch.
