| Okay.. Don't like to be touched!
I have never understood this and hopefully I am not the only one. When it comes down to it I don't like being touched or comforted. I have no idea why! My cat will come and rub on my legs and I push him off because I don't want him to touch me.
One time I was really upset and a co-worker came up to me and was saying it was alright and went to rub my back and I told her sternly, "Don't touch me!" She said, "Okay.. Don't like to be touched." When my grandfather died my mom was upset and was hugging me, I remember feeling annoyed that she didn't ask first. I just stood there emotionless with my arms at my side. I didn't even hug her back. I work with kids and touching is a big part of my job... I don't like the kids to give me hugs! I do give them and comfort them as much as I possible can but I just want them off of me. A lot of times I just let them sit on me and hug on me because they need it but then when I go home I go straight to my room and don't talk to anyone, then they get offended, but atleast I am alone with myself and my 5 fishies and 20 something snails.
I don't understand why... Why??? Does anyone else feel like this?
