Hugs and Kisses

Post Reply New Topic

I agree.

I'm always very tense so any unexpected contact will make me jump, my brain is stressed and has my body on full alert, people react badly to this sometimes, taking it as a personal insult.

I feel like a freak when it happens, the desire to be touched by another person is strong yet I recoil from physical touch unconsciously.

I'm slightly better with a partner, I love holding hands, being arm in arm while walking, the mental closeness this gives far outweighs any physical discomfort caused and stops me jumping when touched.
Hugging is hit and miss, I love it but sometimes it's just too much and my body starts screaming at me.

It's a wonderful paradox.

i don't like hugs when i am the one receiving it, it make me feel just awkward even if the one how hugs me is my mother, but sometimes i feel a strong desire to hug my close friends or a family member or just a tree, then i don't mind them hugging me back, funny
