Don't touch me!
 
How easy are you with physical touch(hugs, cuddles, pokes) from friends? Does it take a lot of time for you to open or don't you mind it?

I'm not really that personal with my friends. I think I've only been weirdly close with one of them because it is really comfortable between us. I'm just not the hugging or touching type to begin with. To me a hug is just so weird and not comforting unless I'm pretty much dating you. I'm way more likely to poke people or do a little knee tap or something, but not in an annoying way.. more like I'm trying to point something out or make a joke.

Also I feel like adding this, but one time I met one of my friend's guy friends for the first time in a car. He was sitting in the passenger seat and I was behind him. And he turned around and said "WHOA YOU HAVE A GAP THAT'S BEAUTIFUL!!" (referring to the gap I have in the front of my teeth) and then took his hand and started to go in to touch it and I backed away as far as possible omg. A finger in my mouth is beyond uncomfortable between me and anyone never mind someone I was just meeting lolol

I don't mind it, I'm pretty open with handshakes and hugs and stuff. However, I seem to always end up having awkward hugs with girls and stuff. I don't know why, it just happens.

Nick April 22nd, 2014 8:39 AM

Don't poke me. I don't like that.
Cuddles are fine.
Hugs are fine too.

When I'm drunk, I hug a lot.

Dustmop April 22nd, 2014 9:24 AM

I'm a very huggy, snuggly person and it's wonderful when friends are, too. I will hug you when we greet and when we say goodbye, at the very least. I have a very affectionate family, so I'm just used to a hug and a kiss on the cheek when leaving. I get that some people aren't comfortable with that, haha, but if you are, it's a hug and kiss goodbye. :3

Unless you're trying to get my attention in the most awkward way possible, there's really no reason to poke me. Seriously, don't do that. I have a name. Use that.

Honest April 22nd, 2014 10:21 AM

I'm very warm and touchy with people. Hugs are awesome. I'm even worse/better? when I'm drunk haha

El Héroe Oscuro April 22nd, 2014 10:34 AM

One could say I'm a pretty touchy-feely kind of person. I find a lot of humour in going up to people who don't like to be touched and watching them squirm in their own shoes when you get close to them.

I only like it from one person and that person I'm very close with.

Nolafus April 22nd, 2014 2:06 PM

Don't touch me.

I'm not a very physical person. The only time it's okay to touch me is when I'm expecting it. Don't poke me to get my attention, don't surprise hug me, and we are not cuddling. I have a friend who forces me to hug him, so that's pretty much the extent of my hugging. I don't like to cuddle, and it takes forever for me to start trusting people. One of my closest friends and I started talking every day, and it was a couple months at least until I said something personal about myself.

Limey-chan April 22nd, 2014 2:22 PM

I don't mind it, but a lot of my friends are very.. (thinking of the best way to put this).. "straight-laced"(?). Like, the expression we'd use here is that they're "Lad's lads", they like drinking, women, football; so yeah. I think questions would be asked if I started hugging them.

AuroraBeam April 22nd, 2014 2:34 PM

I do wish to be okay with touchy feely things but I am not, currently. I've always cringed away from hugs and kisses from family. It's not how I like to be, but I can't help it, it makes me feel awkward. :(
If it's like a significant other, it doesn't bug me at all, but for some reason it's always been weird for me if friends/family try to get all touchy feely with me.

Arc April 22nd, 2014 2:59 PM

Poking me is a no no. Hugs? I'm fine with them. Cuddling is okay too. But I only do this with some rather close friends. I'm somewhat open with physical touching, just not by much.

Captain Gizmo April 22nd, 2014 3:02 PM

I'm am very open with hugs, cuddles and such. Sometimes me and my classmates we fool around and start rubbing, massaging and hugging each other for fun and to make other people uncomfortable xD

AuroraBeam April 22nd, 2014 3:42 PM

Seeing how many people are okay with hugs and such with their friends makes me wonder why on earth I am not that way, too. :<
What causes some people to be uncomfortable with this I wonder?

Sonata April 22nd, 2014 4:37 PM

I love hugs. I will do anything really to get a hug from most people. I will not hug you however if you smell like you haven't showered in days or if youhave been drinking/getting high because that stinks pretty bad too.

Sniper April 22nd, 2014 4:43 PM

I only let my girlfriend touch me. Because I am completely open to her and I trust her. My friends know their place and they shouldn't even no matter how close I am with my friends.

antemortem April 22nd, 2014 4:44 PM

LOVE HUGS LOVE CUDDLES hate everything else like poking and awkward exchanges like handshakes. Like I said cuddles and hugs are absolutely 100% okay with me and I actually love extending them to be incredibly awkward as well because an awkward hug is a good hug.

professor plum April 22nd, 2014 4:46 PM

I used to have a huge thing about being touched, but not so much anymore. After being physically intimate with someone, it seemed kind of pointless.
I'm pretty cool with it, now, but I'm actually not that into cuddling that much. I'm down for it at night, but all the time..it gets boring to me. I'd rather set together and watch television, read, or browse the internet.

..That's generally acceptable for me, too! If it's summer, though, I've got to have a fan or something blowing. I'm really hot natured. :B

Khoshi April 22nd, 2014 6:03 PM

It really depends on who. If you're someone I know, expect a few handshakes, fist bumps, etc etc. Just hand motions. If it's a friend, maybe a few hugs or two. I love hugs, but I don't like hugging people I barely know..it makes me feel weird. :s

Never have cuddled someone, but I've given a few kisses on the cheek...makes me feel warm. Not really into intimacy happening all the time, so cuddles and kisses nearly never happen, but then again, I'm just a kid. ;-;

Pokes? Stay the hell out of me. Pokes feel like stabs to me. I'm highly sensitive to them.

Vincent April 22nd, 2014 6:08 PM

Around dudes, I'm mostly the high-five, first bump and handshake kind of guy and we kinda smack each other as a sign of hello... but around girls especially girls that I know, I am highly flamboyant and flirtatious and I usually don't stop at pokes at their hips. I hug them when their backs turned, hold their hands, play with their hair, squeeze their cheeks and many more that are somewhat inappropriate. =-= I pin girls to the wall and then say hello ;D

The Void April 22nd, 2014 6:22 PM

I'm cool with all, regardless of the gender I do it to. I just don't like it when someone pretends to be close to me then hugs me just to show that off. I'm not good with that.

Cherrim April 22nd, 2014 6:54 PM

I'm not very affectionate with people. I'll hug when social protocol calls for it (like the first time I see friends in a long time, as I leave a party, etc.) but I still don't really think I'm comfortable with it most of the time. I'm definitely more comfortable with it now than I was even a few years ago, but I don't go out of my way to initiate it or anything.

Raine April 22nd, 2014 7:12 PM

Each person is a different case. I'm actually normally the one who initiates the physical contact between my friends because we're all very respectful of each other's personal space as I've recently discovered. I try not to engage in physical contact with complete strangers because it feels uncomfortable, and like an invasion of my personal bubble. Otherwise with close friends, I have no qualms about them touching me as long as it's an acceptable form, not some kind of bear hug/strangulation thing going on XD
