Is it normal to not like hugs and physical contact?

When stuff like that happens, (and it happens quite often considering my friends know about my shyness and try to make me feel uncomfortable) even if I like the feeling, I feel terribly awkward and always back away quickly. I've recently discovered that I get the feeling that I don't deserve human contact

    I loathe touching people, or people touching me. Always have. Even handshakes. The only exceptions are romantic interests or people I love (the whopping one of them), and even that took a long time just to not feel weird about, even though I did like it.

    So when you do find someone you don't mind touching, just keep at it, and it'll become more natural with time and experience.

    It's totally normal. But I love hugs, just saying.

    idk if it's normal but I feel the same way. All my other guy friends in our group of friends are a lot more 'touchy' with the girls in our group than I am. By that I mean they hug each other and stuff. It's probably normal

    I'm the same way. For a start I have social phobia so I don't like having contact with people. Also when I was born I died at birth but was brought back to life and since the doctors thought I wouldn't make it I had to spend the first month of my life in hospital having doctors poke around at me and do tests so I think that is where my dislike of being touched comes from.

    It's sad that I've hardly ever been touched but yet because of that I'm starved of affection. I don't like to be touched yet part of that yearns for affection want to be touched. I can't win.

    • I have social phobia too. I'm not completely sure as to why, but I grew up with very little affection, and no physical affection, so it just feels like it's wrong
