I have undersensitive touch, i still dont like to be touched

Post Reply New Topic

Its werid, i have always had undersensitive touch, i have self harmed my whole life as a stim, i always liked physical pressure. But only after about the age of 11 or 12 i disliked being touched,

Specifically in a affectionate way, like cuddling, being pet, being rubbed, ect. I think its more of a sexual thing per sey. It makes me emotionally uncomfortable. Im startig to think maybe its unrelated to autism that i dislike being touched because as a kid i used to love hugs and stuff. But now i really would rather not.

Anyone relate?

I somewhat relate, for i can't stand hugs either. I will shake hands with someone, but hugs are just awkward to me. I seem to only give hugs when i receive a gift from a female member of my family, which is once or twice a year. Hugging just doesn't come natural to me.
