i hate touching people and i hate being touched too

[livingwishtodie]

I hate human touch like even holding hands or by mistake touching a hand makes me really uncomfortable. and when I read a line
"warmth of human touch" it disgusts me in a very horrible way.
I really think I will end up alone because that's better for me and others.

Me too. I hate human touch as well. I've never liked or desired it. It's literally someone invading your personal space

Not that I have too much of an issue with it but welcome to the world of autism.

Now hold my hand please

is it a autism sign ?

I have autism and I hate human touch. I think it's cuz I'm overly sensitive lol

true. it's especially annoying with parents and doctors. the only creatures who are allowed to touch me are my cats :3

I have autism too, so I feel very uncomfortable being touched by people I don't know very well. It's torture being Hispanic because you're supposed to hug and kiss everyone when you meet them if you're part of our culture, I've gotten used to having to do it because it's how I was raised, but I don't like it.

I'm an SA survivor also, so being touched in certain ways, even when I'm seeing a doctor, makes me really uncomfortable and triggered sometimes.

I like being touched by my boyfriend though. I don't mind it if he does it. I don't mind hugging my family or my pets sometimes either.

I've always felt the same way as that, the thought of such certainly is very repulsive to me.

I never really liked touching, except, maybe from my mum.

Personally I'm diagnosed and absolutely love physical contact and touches when they're consensual. Symptoms do vary tho.

 

[SadLad]

Same, my hands sweat a lot and it's embarrassing.

maybe you had a childhood where the type of attachment made you feel what you feel now.

I don't like touch and people getting close, that was the one thing good about covid. I'm OK with animals though, I can cuddle my dogs
