Being Touched

I am sure many of you have issues when it comes to touching.

If someone touches me or goes to cuddle me and I don't know it's going to happen, it freaks me out.  If I know about it, I am ok.

  • Aside from a handshake, I don't like it.  And I certainly don't do hugs if they're part of 'buddy' behaviour.  I have a colleague at work who does things like stomach pats or back slaps.  I flinch away.

  • This reminds me of an old joke,going back at.least to the early 1930s as it was in one of my fathers Champion comics which he had meticulously bound together.

    Two builders are working on a building site.

    One says to the other "Fred, what is that lump on your back?"

     Fred replies: "Dynamite. I am fed up of the foreman slapping me on the back every time he says hello. Next time he'll blow his flippin' hand off!"
