I was watching my coworkers the other day and how they interact with eachother and it just amazes me that how they act is second nature. I don't touch anyone, and I don't let anyone into my personal space bubble. Everyone else seems to have no problem with this. They put a hand on the other person's shoulder when they walk over to someone that's sitting down and they need to ask them something, they casually touch someones arm when they're speaking, just natural everyday touches that most people don't even THINK about.. and I can't do that. The funny part is I'm DYING for affection, but anyone really but I'll never admit to it and never allow it anyway. There's definitely something wrong with me.
It sucks not being able to touch other people.

I know. I used to want to go to a sexual assault support group, but I just feel like it's not warranted because everything that's happened to me feels
like it's been my own fault.

I don't touch my coworkers as part of normal conversation and I'm pretty sure I've never noticed others doing it.

You've been sexually assaulted? I wasn't aware of that. I'm sorry.

I actually hate being touched by random people and that includes coworkers. There's no need for you to touch me.

It's not even just strangers, I don't let ANYONE touch me. I won't even hug my mom.

Last week at softball I was catching and the umpire would touch my shoulder when talking to me or whatever, I turned around and told him not to touch me. You
don't know me! Back off

I don't remember the last time I hugged either of my parents. It's not that weird.

I don't normally make a habit of letting anybody touch me.
Unless you're family members, friends, or the fiance. But really, I don't make a
habit of touching anybody in a regular conversation.

It's very different with my husband and my immediate family, but not with anyone else. I just don't think people need to be putting germs all over me. |

I dont like touching either. I dont think its necessary. Keep your hands to yourself and stay out of my personal space, please. Sometimes when people touch me,
I have to fight off the feelings of wanting to pull away or shudder. When people touch me that I dont know, I tense up. Its weird but its just me.

for me it depends on who the person is. I like hugs though.

I won't let anyone touch me except my bf. Anyone else and I flinch back. Even family memebers.
