Life as someone who's not a fan of physical contact is tough. Because physical contact is all around us.
Some of us, especially those of us that identify as introverts, have a hard time getting our points across due to that fact. There are some things that touchy-feely people take for granted, like cheek-kisses and public displays of affection, but…well, some of us don't feel the same way.
And these are 12 things that many non-touchy-feely people will be able to relate to and understand.
1. Hugs are a DEFIANT no, unless you are close with the person
This could be a family member, close friend or SO.
2. You just honestly avoid physical contact, in general.
Especially around anyone you don't know
3. When some one compliments you or shows you any affection, you don't have any idea how to respond
Thanks??
4. Alone time is a MUST.
Like a super must.
5. Cheering up people is hard for you
Most of the time its because hugging or touching are one of the results.
6. Greeting strangers (or anyone really) is SOOO stressful
What do you do?
7.PDA is another big NO
It's awkward to watch, and more awkward to partake in, especially around others.
8. If you have to be touchy-feely with someone, you get reluctant
9. When do decide to hug someone its EXTRA special
10. Sometimes its hard to explain to people why you don't want them to touch you.
Especially, if they show their affection by being more physical.
11. There are a few people that know you are that particular about affection, and don't force it on you
And chances are they love you anyways (and are probably some of the only people you let anywhere near you).
12. When you are affectionate, its a big deal.
Like a really big deal.
