Thanks for the Support Guys. Its good to see I'm not alone with this issue. I do have a sponsor, and I am going to talk about it with him today. I know that people mean well, but I must also stand up for the way I feel and for my own personal boundaries. The biggest thing holding me back was worries of offending someone or getting rejected by the group or being looked at as a weirdo / psychopath. "I mean its just a hug right, whats the harm in that", etc.
