How touchy are you?

Post Reply New Topic

Well, for me it just depends on the moods. If i'm OK i like to be touched, but if someone upsets me i want distance and i tend to have an agressive speech.

And don't you ever wake up KNOWING that something wrong it will happen that day, and even if you know it, it wont help avoid it?

There are two kinds of shopkeers, the owners and managers of costly deluxe places. These are somehow obliged to be courteos, but their politeness is unctous and their smiles are forced. Their smiles are even more unnatural when you get out without buying anything, I avoid this and sometimes I buy something just to avoid these frosty hellos. In other shops where they sell everyday goods (bread, food, newspapers), they know you and may sometimes very nice. But then there is the problem of the queues. Other customers may turn very aggressive and unpleasant. Anyhow an aggressive exchange may put me down for hours. I have complicated networks of shops where you do not risk slights.

I'm touchy to the extreame. Some of the less recent members already know this. I take things personally, I have meltdowns and I find it hard to forgive, sometimes. I've also been bothered by a loss, longer than the average person would be.

I initially thought this topic meant do you like to touch/be touched, which I don't.

I can be sensitive/touchy (as you mean it) to/from people I like and want to have like me. Other people are not important to me, so I am not bothered by them.

I'm very oversensitive. Like other people have said, if someone I know doesn't smile or say Hi to me I assume that they don't like me anymore and I get really upset. I used to think of myself as thick skinned but I now realise that I was bottling it all up and not showing any emotion. I'm always being told "not to be so sensitive" but how are you supposed to do that??!

A problem I have is that when people hurt me I just laugh it off and everyone assumes that I'm really tough, but really I just hate showing any kind of emotion to anyone but my boyfriend.

I used to hide all my emotions when i was younger.
When i met my future husband, i started to show a bit more of my feelings, and it wasn't so bad after all.
After 16 years, we got divorced, but i learn that showing what i think is not so bad, and if the others get upset, it's their problem, not mine.
I'm too honest, some people are not prepared to listen the thruth.
But when everything is OK, beeing touched is very very pleasent
