<p>I <em>really</em> don’t like people touching me. I especially can’t understand the girls who want to hug me every time they see me. Guys, at least, respect my space (then again, I’m a girl…that could explain why).</p>
<p>Touching is a bit creepy even if it’s ostensibly not. I don’t see how it’s necessary, I suppose. My family knows to keep away from me on birthdays, successful standardized testing days, etc. I haven’t had a hug or kiss or given a hug or kiss to anyone, including my family members, since I was nine.</p>
<p>It’s probably because I get a bit defensive when people come near me. And twitchy. And somewhat awkward.</p>
<p>Oh, don’t lean on me man, cause you can’t afford the ticket.</p>
<p>oh god, I thought this was gonna be about masturbation</p>
<p>As long as its not poking</p>
<p>That reminds me of when Zoolander first came out, and one of my mom’s psycho friends (this dude was seriously hyperactive as hell and had schizophrenia in his family) kept poking at me and hitting my arm through the entire movie and saying “You gotta watch this part, haha! Are you watching?! Watch!” </p>
<p>Everytime I think of Zoolander, I think of him.</p>
<p>i poke people and people poke me. </p>
<p>people (friends) dont seem to hug me though.
i was always get my guard up and someone outside of family hugs me…its so awkward.
im like “hellooo, can i have some room here”
but thats only with girlfriends.</p>
<p>if its a hot guy, or a guy im attracted to…then touching is hardly off limits :p</p>
<p>If it’s a friend or family member then it’s alright. If i just met you and you touch me then i’d get freaked out. Once, i had just met this girl and she was…I guess unconsciously…touching my forearm while talking. o.o that was the most awkward thing i’ve seen an acquaintance do.</p>
<p>it doesn’t bother me to be touched. i’m a touch-friendly guy lol</p>
<p>As long as I know them and don’t hate them, they can touch me anywhere that isn’t covered by summer clothing. I hug people all the time, lean on them, use them as pillows… but if I’m eating i can’t stand it. I don’t know why, but if there is a meal in front of me it’s just not okay to touch anyone else. I guess that’s also because I view eating as a solitary action, though, which a lot of my friends find strange.</p>
<p>I kind of like the whole touching thing, as it shows a friendly connection between the person and I- that we can be comfortable with each other. You know?</p>
<p>When people I am not fond of or uncomfortable with touch me (esp in a weird manner) or hug me, I kind of pull away and want them to leave. I don’t mind hugs from people who I acutally like though, particularly in appropriate times.</p>
<p>depends who it is
i never touch people when talking. i think its weird
i have this one friend who always touches my arm when she talks and it pis.ses me off
well i guess its okay if boys do it (fit ones, obv)</p>
<p>I do not like it when * most * people touch my face</p>
<p>Strangers: It’s weird in all scenarios</p>
<p>Friends: It’s weird, unless it can’t be helped (like a crowded subway scenario then it’s far better for that is be a friend than some stranger)</p>
<p>Girlfriend/potential girlfreind/girl I’m flirting with: To be evaluated on a case by case basis.</p>
<p>i love being touched by the opposite gender. it can get quite hot sometimes.</p>
<p>^What if you do not like the person from the opposite gender? that is just icky :|</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>that’s why i said sometimes lol</p>
<p>Ohhhh [/clicks]</p>
<p>Wow, some people on this thread sure are… touchy.</p>
