Mate, if I ever meet you, I am totally going to touch you ALL over.

I'm really touchy feely when it comes to my family and boyfriend. I hug close friends. But people like my boss, co-workers, acquaintences... I get very uncomfortable if they touch me. MY BUBBLE.



My boss always hugs me when she gets drunk, which has happened a couple times. Last time she was like "I love you!" Ahaha. I was like whoa!

and I'll be poliet about it unless you touch me in inapropriate places then I'll look shocked and run away.



I'm actually going to be in london in a couple of weeks but I dont think meeting up's going to be an option, I'm picking up a friend who will of flowen in from Canada and I kind of get the feeling that saying hey lets meet people I met off the internet will be kind of akward.



Also on a completely unrelated note to the possibility of not meeting I dont like talking to strangers.

I'm so into touching!



I love giving hugs, I'm 100% into shoulder pats and backwards hugs to flatmates while they are standing at the sink. Surprise shoulder massages are my way of saying "you're awesome".

I don't mind a good touch now and then

I'm not a touchy feely person, no one in my family is were very protective of our personal space and were quite happy to do things on our own.



Were not loners but were not exactly depedant on other people.

I used to be uncomfortable with it, but now I'm ok.



It would still be weird if someone like my boss touched me though.

I'd touch you if I was your boss Marbs.



But that's cause I'm totally in like with you.

I'd say I'm a reasonably tactile person, but I think I'm also quite aware of when people are uncomfortable. If I sense discomfort, I'll remove my hand from their butt. The fact that it's an issue for you indicates that it's an unusual level of discomfort that you feel.

when i go out and people need to get past you i feel much more comfortable if they like kinda touch me rather than shove past or try and slither through, altho there are times when it is just creepy

I am the exact same way.

The only people I hug are my boyfriend my cats and my parents. Sometimes when I'm drunk I'll give out hugs, or if someone is really really upset about something, but other than that I keep those things to myself.



I don't mind getting massages from massage people though.

Oh yeah, I'm much more touchy when I'm drunk. I kiss and hug everyone.



And Tobz, you can touch me any time ;)

I like hugging girls. They can smell and feel good.



I like them.

Just you.

Point to where they touched you.

If I get to know someone touching is fine.

Strangers, umm, well, not so fine.



Hugs are awesome. People I know tell me my hugs are grand for my size. I guess they expect wimpy hugs.

I love hugs. Especially when a girl surprise hugs me from behind.

emidate!

Aw, surprise hugs sound wonderful, Alvin!

I can only hug if I've known the person for a year.



I'll still sleep with them within that time period though.

The fact that it's an issue for you indicates that it's an unusual level of discomfort that you feel.



I have dyspraxia and its often linked asperger's syndrome, I suspect that I'm probably a tiny bit on the scale. For example night clubs are my idea of hell, I cant cope with the flashing lights, extremely loud bad music, the heat and being in close proximity to lots of people. I can mange if I'm sober but I dont enjoy it.



Having said that I like going to gigs but I think I feel more in control of the situtation there, I've largely choosen the bands I want to see, I can take myself out of the crowd if I feel like it and I dont drink because I want to remember it (I have a habit of blacking out if I drink alot).

NO. This is not acceptable unless the person touching is a friend or family. I freak out when strangers touch my tattoo (on the arm). If we're not at least on a first name basis, keep your grubby fingers off of me.

They totally are. And should happen more often, but they don't.



I don't know how, when, or why but girls don't like hugging me anymore. I don't know when I became the guy who got only high fives.

i concur. hahahha



also, i remember hugging alvin and touching his butt, too. so, i must not be a girl. hahaha

*high fives surprise hugs Alvin*

Hahaha, Annie, you don't count! You would hug a cactus!

Supprise hugs do sound pretty great actually... but only from girls.



I wish I was back in canada, sorry thats completely un related, just eh I dont realy know where I'm going with this other than it reminded me of canada.

I don't like being hugged by strangers.

But I don't mind hugging strangers.

Weird?

that's not true!

when i hug alvin, we press our flat chests together. it's like a sideways double stack of pancakes.

I love surprise hugs.

*high fives surprise hugs Alvin*



:)

I get tense and stuff if I get touched too.

*touches omair's butt

i don't like when people talk to me, inches from my face. if you are not my man, you may not be there, thanks!

I don't like when people stick their fingers in my butt. It's like, dude, find your own hiding place for candy.

God, I'd hate to be in a room full you types.



GET THE FUCK AWAY!



STAND BACK!



DON'T LOOK AT ME!



Stop pretending you're not as bacteria covered as everyone else.

-touches annie's butt in the form of a punch-

Lots of butt touching in here.

i like butt punches. i hope you punch me in the buutocks when we meet, omair.

hmm where DID I PUT THAT CANDYYY??

My sister used to hate anybody touching her. (I assume she still isn't very fond.)



About a year though for the first time in my memory she instigated a hug.

I was so shocked that I thought that something must be wrong.

Like maybe she was pregnant (no joke, that's the first thing that went through my head) and her hormones were acting up.

I'm such a touchy-feely person though.

I really need physical contact.



I actually think I get slightly depressed if I haven't touched/hugged/etc. in a while.



Of course, that's bad. Especially seeing that I don't really have anyone to do the whole physical contact thing with.

*physically hugs Mya*

I don't much like being touched, to the point where I will actually noticably flinch of someone touches my arm or something. I don't mean to, it's just a reflex. So even though I try to be polite about people touching me, sometimes I can't help but react, so they know and it's kind of embarrassing.



But really I don't like strangers in my personal space. I once flipped out and yelled "Don't touch me!" at a girl who was poking me in order to get my attention. I waved my arms around me in order to demonstrate where my personal space began and told her never to come inside it again.



I will hug girl friends hello or goodbye, but sometimes I just feel more comfortable waving.



I think because I'm not very touchy-feely it can be hard when you want to comfort someone or something. I feel kind of awkward when I have to put my arm around someone or something, like I'm meant to be transmitting some kind of magical feeling of comfort but I don't know how to do it so I'm just transmitting awkwardness instead.



But I like to touch if the person is special. The rules are much clearer when you're putting your arm around someone you love, it just feels right. I like that holding hands is completely mutual.

I cannot have my neck touched. And if someone massages my shoulders I will instinctively tense up to protect my neck, which is kind of the opposite effect of what a massage is supposed to have.

It's weird, there are only certain girls that I can hug, but I'll hug most all of my guy friends. My family isn't really a hugging family though.



When it comes to general like someone touching me on the shoulder/arm things like that, it doesn't bother me at all. It makes me feel more connected and "paid attention to"...unless it's a creepy pervy man/weird woman/homeless/mentally ill person.



I didn't realize it until recently that I often touch strangers on the arm, shoulder, especially if I wrong them somehow, like almost run into them when walking or accidentally cut them off, I'll say I'm sorry and touch their arm or something. hm.

So this one time, I was out with a girl and we got a bit lost and neither of us had our glasses because we never ever wear them. But we saw these women and went to ask them for directions. But they were really old hookers and they thought it was hilarious so they started chatting and this one hooker was gripping my forearm with both hands while they all cackled at us because they thought we must've been from Dubbo or something, not a couple of locals and the whole time I just wanted her to let my arm go but was too polite to say anything and just kept answering their questions. Then when they left us, I got in trouble for telling them where we were from.

SJ just think about how many cool things that old hooker has had her hands on before they were on your arm... hahaha

I know, I know. At least it was winter and I had my jacket on as well as a long-sleeved shirt.
