just a quick question about affection towards others


Posts: 658

i am not affectionate.

hugs/kisses/etc do not make me uncomfortable if the person is not disgusting to me in someway.

i only dislike that i have to pretend to be affectionate, i used not to pretend, but that makes people distant as i figured later. sometimes i do not pretend anyway... its exhausting, to constantly think about the little things just for the sake of others.

Yes, physical affection sucks. I don't like others touching me or invading my space, it makes me uncomfortable. I don't like people saying I love you because it also makes me uncomfortable. 

I feel like my skin crawls when strangers grab my shoulder or touch my hands or hug me. It's weird. 

As for kissing, I've never experienced a spark. All I've ever felt was wet, cold lips.

do you ever feel like affection is one of the most uncomfortable things to receive from another person. I find that hugs are weird and uncomfortable like when my mother hugs me because she misses me or when a friend hugs me etc. I find it unnecessary and it just makes me feel nothing idk how to explain it. Also kissing, I feel nothing when I kiss its like i feel there lips up against mine but I feel like there's supposed to be some spark or something that goes off when i kiss someone but again i feel nothing. just a thought, and I was wondering if any one can relate.

I'm also uncomfortable with physical contact, like shaking hands or having people hug or touch me. If i'm in a situation where company is coming over, I won't welcome them or say goodbye through any form of physical contact.

I would prefer they would come and go without any contact. If I do have to be in this situation. I will play the social roll for a few minutes then I will distance myself from everyone.

I'm not affectionate and never have been. Even when I was little I was cold and distant towards my mother and other people.

I've seen both my brother and sister hug my mother. It's just never interested me to do so.

Hugging does nothing for me, and I have zero interest in kissing unless it involves sex.

I actually like friend hugs. You know, that jump-hug, X-hug, bro-hug...

I used to find them uncomfortable, but I've found receiving enough hugs can dull that discomfort. Now I'm mostly concerned about how weird they might smell while being within my personal space.

Kissing is a nice addition to other fun things, but by itself it's lacking.

I am naturally uncomfortable with physical affection. The weird thing is that I actually re-learned how to feel emotions and empathize with others. It's like I have a switch, and can shift between modes where I am either sociable and empathetic or reserved and logical. It's exhausting, so I have trouble with agile switching. Anyway, I "grew" into physical affection; I understand it now, and feel comfortable in situations involving it, but there's still that part of me that says it's weird. It doesn't bother me unless I intentionally listen to it. Is affection like this for anyone else?

Yes, emotion tends to piss me off. Especially love, I don't know why but it just gets on my nerves so badly. And in movies, they dramatize it so much that I can't stand it. Idiots.
