Don't touch me, please.
 
Do you like people touching you?

Cause I don't. I'm a clean freak, by nature, so if someone touches me when I haven't known where their body has been, so my friends are only allowed to touch me after they've washed their hands after a physical activity or touching something kind of nasty, or if they want to hug or whatever they have to take a shower. If they don't do those things, I will push them away rather forcibly.

PlatinumDude February 9th, 2011 12:17 AM

I don't like being touched unexpectedly, but other than that, I'm okay with it.

Sydian February 9th, 2011 12:21 AM

No. I do not like being touched at all. Even if it's accidental, like walking with a group and someone accidentally brushes against you. This happened while we were taking a tour of our theatre the other week, and it kept happening with the same person. It was making me nervous and uneasy and I kept getting they feeling the were doing it on purpose because I was dressed kinda nice that day. Maybe they fancied me. But if someone touches me, I jerk away and tense up and I usually bring my hands close to my chest so that I can push them away.

However I'm the exact opposite if I'm completely comfortable with someone. But that's only like...one person at the moment. And I can't very well hug them, lol. So technically, no one should be touching me.

I'm pretty much the same way, but I think it'd be way too awkward to actually tell someone not to touch me, especially for that reason... so I pretty much just have to bear the burden of being touched. (Then again, no one touches me to begin with. lol)

Captain Fabio February 9th, 2011 12:42 AM

I am not bothered maybebecauseiama*****! XD

I mean, I don't mind if my mates touch me, nudge me or anything like that, but if it is a strange person on the street wanting to touch me, then I am going to start getting creeped out.

Saying that, one homeless andhigh guy wanted to touch my hair because he thought it was a river of pillows. I have never laughed so hard.


Taemin February 9th, 2011 12:44 AM

Eeeeh, I'm not very affectionate, nor am I too fond of letting people touch me. xD;

I mean, I guess I don't mind friends hugging me; they sure do it often enough, but they have to initiate it. I won't be the one to start it, and I usually just give them a weird look. > >; As far as accidental touches go.. it happens. I don't give it much thought. The only time I allow myself to really be okay with lots of touching is while I'm at an anime con, because a lot of glomping and such goes on in those.. >_>; Especially when you're a character that people want to tie down and do things to. eff.

SinisterEternity February 9th, 2011 12:53 AM

Hmmhm...Well, no. But it depends who the person is.
If it's a friend then I guess itttt's okay, or a family member...
But else, hell no. xd

King Gumball February 9th, 2011 2:51 AM

I don't mind... Unless some one is like all over me :/ And it is after sport or something XD Other wise idrc.

Beechlgz February 9th, 2011 3:29 AM

I just don't like the sensation. I don't like hugs either. I hate when someone of the opposite sex touches me unexpectedly. I don't like it with the same sex either but I find it worse when it's the opposite.

It's awkward when you come across someone where it's their home custom to hug or kiss on the cheek or something. I usually get very jumpy, but when it's another woman I can bear with it. A man? I won't deal with it, I'll make my boundaries clear.

Kevin February 9th, 2011 5:25 AM

That's kind of awkward, actually... No, I don't like people touching me.
It's kind of weird, unless... it's like a girlfriend or something.

Rogue planet February 9th, 2011 5:56 AM

I'm all over my friends. If it's someone I'm not comfortable with then I hate it.

Aquacorde February 9th, 2011 6:15 AM

I'm okay with touching. I'll get creeped out if people are doing it in a strange way, but... high-fives, hugs, playful shoves, pokes, etc, I'm generally okay with.

Regeneration February 9th, 2011 6:34 AM

I get really freaked out if anyone touches me, and immediately take two steps back! XD If a friend does that, I usually shout, "Get away!" because I know that they wouldn't mind but other than that, I make an expression that clearly indicates that I'm not comfortable with it.

Gazza February 9th, 2011 7:24 AM

I went to Brazilian Jui Juitsu classes for a while so I have no problem with people touching me after some of the awkward positions I had to perform on people I had just met. >.>;

Binary February 9th, 2011 7:51 AM

I can't say I'm too fond, but it doesn't really bother me much. Accidental contact, I don't really mind. But if I'm touched unexpectedly and awkwardly, I won't like it. >>;

Backup February 9th, 2011 8:02 AM

I actually really hate being touched. ._. I just don't like it.

I hate shaking hands with people, I hate hugging people, and I hate being closer than 2 feet with anyone.

I don't even let my own parents hug me XD; Just hate touching D:

Saryka February 9th, 2011 9:42 AM

I'll only give hugs to my closest friends and even then it's not that often. I don't like being touched, for reasons even unknown to me. I seriously don't know why.

And it's not that I don't care about my friends enough to hug them or whatever. That's just not how I do, you know? They know I love them, even if I don't show it. XD;

Shiro February 9th, 2011 11:44 AM

I'm okay with regular touching like hugs and stuff like that. I actually like hugs in the middle of the winter because people are waaarm and yeah. ~u~

But you know what I do hate? When you're sitting next to someone on a bus and they're all getting in your space and you're just kinda squished against the window. It's like "Uh hey, bud, can you please back off a bit?"

Ayselipera February 9th, 2011 12:08 PM

Well I'm always playfully poking, tapping, and punching people. Playful punching of course, like punching someone on the shoulder. I just find it adds emphasis to certain things I'm saying, haha. xD I don't really mind being touched either. I'm just not fond of hugging a lot. Even hugging with friends I kind of feel awkward. Although I'm not going to rip away from them, that just seems rude!

Sammi February 9th, 2011 12:34 PM

I'm cool with hugs and touching from people I'm close to. It's actually kind of nice, since I don't get physical contact very often. But if I don't know you very well, I need my space.

There was this one time where a lady that works in the food court came up to me while I was on break, and she got all close to me and patted my shoulder and it was creepy. *shudders just thinking about it* And every once in awhile my boss will put a hand on my shoulder and I'll get slightly creeped out by it. That might be because I'm not expecting it, though...

Capris February 9th, 2011 6:32 PM

My group of friends is very touchy touchy so I'm used to it and contribute to it myself. Today we had to sit down in my history class today before we could leave and my friend wasn't near his seat so he sat on my lap.

My personal favorite touching moments are when we all pile on top of each other on somebody's bed. :cool:

GlitchCity February 9th, 2011 7:10 PM

Usually when people touch me, its the poking motion. What is with the poking? I mean its fun to do it to others ( ⇠hypocrite much?) but when its done to you, your friend like to take pictures of your reactions and put them on facebook. Yeahhh..... I dont mind the touching, just the poking.

And hugs make the world go round :D

Uecil February 9th, 2011 9:40 PM

I don't like being touched at all, especially when I don't know the person who is touching me and I even reject some of my friends hugs at times.

RYOUKI February 10th, 2011 2:52 AM

I don't like having physical contact with people. Which is weird since people like touching me! Really, my co-workers like touching my butt. And take note, they're also guys. I don't know what's happening to the world anymore. What happened to fist-pounds!?

Fire Heart February 10th, 2011 6:45 AM

I am not really bothered as long as i know them, otherwise it is weird.

DAWJ February 10th, 2011 2:08 PM

I don't really care if someone touches me(except if it is in an inappropriate way). Though, my friends tend to do a lot of gay stuff *ahem* "Penis Tag", in which I do not play and will tell my friends don't touch me. Other than that, I hate when people you don't know touch you. Like one time, I was walking around my school and some girl I didn't even know, touched my butt. I was so freaked out!! Well other than those two stuff, I have no problem with people touching me.

BBA_Beyblader_321 February 22nd, 2011 12:32 AM

Unless iv'e known you for about 6 or 7 years, and I actually like you. You're in my bubble and you need to get the hell out. I can stand quick hugs, but it's kind of uncomfortable... :/

GirlieNinjaRose February 22nd, 2011 1:56 AM

I'm fine with it, it's not a serious matter for me.

ShinyMeowth February 22nd, 2011 4:43 AM

I accept handshakes. Everything else is banned.

Take down a creeper? Bad idea.

Pokemon Trainer Touko February 22nd, 2011 5:09 AM

I don't mind if my friends hugs me, but other than that, they cannot touch me. Strangers- back off or I'll scream my head off~!

Nameless. February 22nd, 2011 1:09 PM

I am a little bit awkward when I'm touched, just because I'm not used to it, and because I'm a bit hyper-sensitive. XD;
I don't mind it if I know the person well.. sometimes I even long for it.. but most of the time I freeze up physically when I am. D:

I hate being such an awkward person. ;;


Elite Overlord LeSabre™ February 22nd, 2011 2:06 PM

High-fives are okay. Nothing else. I don't even let my parents hug me. I need my personal space, thanks.

Same.. minus the.. erm.. pillowriver..


But my family is naturally touchy by nature (Italian) but I'm actually quite modest when it comes to physical contact with others. I don't really touch anyone else, but it depends on the setting. If I'm saying hi to my Italian family friends (even if I've never met them before) it's customary to give them a kiss on the cheek. Even guys do it to each other in Italy- it's just a way to greet friends.
At school I don't really hug or nudge people because I don't know if they'd prefer it and I wouldn't want to be invasive. But with people I'm close with, and my boyfriend, I'm obviously affectionate.

Ryoutarou February 22nd, 2011 2:45 PM

If it's a light tap on the shoulder or a hug, I won't really mind. As long as I know it's coming, I don't mind more force in it. When it's unexpected...especially when it's very sudden, I tend to have a "whoamygodpunchyouintheface" reaction to nearly anyone who tries to spring on me unknowingly. It's...not the best habit! Something I'm trying to get out of, but I tend to feel skittish at times.

Lambda February 22nd, 2011 5:00 PM

I dont really enjoy people touching. I am a partial germ phobic but i do take handshakes because i carry hand sanitizer.

moon February 23rd, 2011 1:26 AM

I looove touching. I hug most of my friends, either as a greeting, as a way to say goodbye or just because I feel like it. Both guys and girls. In class, I've been known to fall asleep on my neighbor's shoulder. I also like to hold hands. It's such a great and assuring feeling to hold somebody's hand, no matter if it's my mom's hand, my sisters, my partner's or just a friend's.

Sometimes (pretty often) people pick me up and carry me around >.< I'm to tiny... But the human body needs contact :3

DarkVhozon February 23rd, 2011 2:03 PM

Besides giving my peoples high fives, I have a strong preference for not being touched. I could count on 1 hand the people I let touch me, not even mom(though she tries on the weekends when im in a good mood.)
I almost broke a fellow school mates wrist because he was stupid enough to touch me without permission...

weeman10 February 23rd, 2011 3:16 PM

I'm a pretty tactile person, so I don't really mind people touching me, or me touching other people.

Which might make me slightly strange :L

Corvus of the Black Night February 23rd, 2011 3:49 PM

I don't like it when people touch me. I act quickly in a practically automated response to avoid it. The only people I let touch me in any way, even hugging, are people I'm very close with.

Rai February 23rd, 2011 10:58 PM

I am very claustrophobic so I don't really like being touched. It gets even worse when I have one of my panic attacks- when that happens my personal space bubble shrinks to almost nothing. No one can touch me or I will scream and freak even if I don't mean to. The only person who can be by me when I'm like that is my girlfriend. She is good at calming me down with hugs.

twistedpuppy February 23rd, 2011 11:34 PM

I don't like to be touched. The only times I let other people touch me is if I haven't seen a friend or family member in a long time & afterwards I always depart with a hug, or whenever I have a boyfriend. He can touch me any time. ;D

HinaBaby February 25th, 2011 1:52 AM

I am sensitive when one of my friends or a stranger touches me, I feel really strange, so I don't like being touched but poking might be fine.

Captain Hobo. February 26th, 2011 1:54 PM

I like high-5s, knuckle touches, etc.

But, people who keep poking me over and over then, I hate it.

Raiskit February 26th, 2011 3:05 PM

I don't mind if my friends hug me. I really don't like it if they randomly poke or touch me though. In fact, I rather hate it. Strangers though, I hate it when they touch me. I only let my ,like, best friends touch my hair though.

Soari February 26th, 2011 8:52 PM

It depends on who the person is, if it's one of my closest friend I've no problem as long as she isn't touching me inappropriately and when some one touches me that I barely know it makes me want to lash out at them.

~Darkness~ February 26th, 2011 10:02 PM

I dont like being hit like hard by anyone, but if someone touches me I dont care as long as its not in an inappropriate way.

Speed February 26th, 2011 10:43 PM

As long as it isn't a stranger I'm absolutely fine with it.

Dumbo Decus March 1st, 2011 8:10 PM

I am perfectly fine with touching and being touched. So long as it is a casual or friendly touch. When things get any more intimate than hand-holding, that is when I get goosebumps. I'm just not used to being that close to people, so it just is all sorts of awkward for me. I mean.. when you've gone most of your life without getting that close to and with people, it isn't exactly easy to start doing it.

I'm also natrually apprehensive when people raise their limbs around me. I've not been beaten... by my parents, but I just always assume that people are going to hit me. If not initially, they will be in range if they suddenly change their mind for whatever. I like to be far away as possible, and I also believe that that ties in with my claustrophobia. =/ Wewt
