I dislike touch and closeness. I don't mind being close to people I know well and like, that's probably the best indicator of how I feel about someone. people I don't know or like I will literally run away from if they come too close.

as much as I have a problem with being on the receiving end of touching, I'm actually quite an eager toucher myself. but I think that comes from the habit of exploring textures and sensory seeking.

I don't always like it, but I've learned to tolerate it even though I may not feel comfortable with it.

I enjoy hugs, but I don't care to be touched in other ways.
