Being Touched

Damon

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.

  • I'm fine with it, IF it has a genuine, useful context. People who lean all over me with no reason or back slap and things of that nature get a firm warning. I feel some people do it as a demonstration of strength or dominance. I don't feel the need to make people aware of my strength or see what boundaries I can cross. When I was younger I'd get into a lot of fights over it. Those guys who try and crush your hand when you shake hands make me angry too. A firm handshake is fine but when you are trying to show me that you are strong, it is pathetic and part of the mating ritual dances that I don't do.
