Why do I always feel uncomfortable being touched?
It’s definitely not uncommon. I can feel very uncomfortable with being surrounded by people even when they don’t touch me and I’ll often ask people to remove their hands from me, especially if I haven’t slept well that night. There could be a lot of reasons for it. In my case, there are several reasons. As far as I’m aware, you can roughly categorize the possible reasons into two groups:It’s due to traumaYou’re physically more sensitive than normalLet me elaborate:If it’s due to trauma, something might have happened to make you feel uncomfortable with being physically close to people whether or not you remember it. When I say trauma, it doesn’t have to be something big, although it can be - getting raped will almost certainly make you feel uncomfortable being touched. But trauma can also be caused by small things, especially if that small thing is often repeated. It can be something like people repeatedly not respecting your personal space or you moving too far out of your comfort zone. While I have always felt a bit uncomfortable around people, forcing myself to experience that discomfort have certainly made it worse.You can also just have been born more sensitive to touch than normal. Some people have a heightened sense of touch, which can make touch overwhelming and therefore uncomfortable. Eg, people with autism often have one or more senses heightened. The reason I’m uncomfortable with touch is because of this. Other conditions can also be the cause, like being a Highly Sensitive Person.Tl;dr: It’s fairly common and I can’t tell you exactly why you feel like that because there are so many possible reasons.
I feel uncomfortable being touched?
It just makes me uncomfortable and I dont know why. I've never been abused or sexually assaulted, so I honestly don't get whats up. Whenever friends touch me, even just to hug, I've made a five second rule which they respect. Most people, my friends ect., respect that I don't feel comfortable being touched and they typically ask for permission which is awesome because it makes things so much easier. My mom in the other hand, doesn't. She doesn't respect that I have boundaries and I've tried explaining this to her so many times as well as telling her to stop but she just won't. I get that moms like to hug their kids and touch their arms and caress there kids face/hair and stuff like that but I just am not comfortable with it. Up to the point where earlier today my mom wouldn't stop touching my face and trying to hug me and I told her numerous times to knock it off and when she didn't, I smacked her hand out of the way. I know that was mean and I swear I didn't mean to, it was just instinct, but I couldn't take it anymore. And then she had the right to get mad at me and tell me that she's my mother and I have to do what she says. My aunts, cousins, and grandparents don't even believe me about my depression and anxiety, always saying "it's just in my head" and that I need to "calm down" so they sure as hell won't believe me when I say touching makes me uncomfortable. I just don't know what to do.
I get uncomfortable when my boyfriend touches me?
I dont know why, i really like him, but whenever he hugs me or holds my hand or rests his head on my shoulder i just want him to stop because i get so uncomfortable. We havent even kissed yet, there have been times though where i know he was trying to kiss me, but i wouldnt even look up at him to actually let him, whats wrong with me and how can i change??? Thanks!
I feel uncomfortable when guys touch me? 10 points!?
You're probably just not ready for this kind of contact, and it's completely normal. I take it you're nervous about having an intimate relationship, so you should just tell him that you really like him but don't want that yet. As for the guy touching your boob, you should feel violated. It's really wrong at your (our) age and shouldn't be happening. I don't know the kind of weird you feel, lol, but I would guess you're just not sure you should be kissing and such at this age. Besides, if you tell him you're not ready and he gets mad, you don't want to be with him anyway :) I had a friend who told her boyfriend she didn't want to kiss him yet, and when he agreed and said he was fine with it she kissed him, it was just a test. Good luck! I hope this helps. ♥♥♥
Why does my little pink toes feel so uncomfortable when they're near or touching the toe next to them?
Why do I feel irritated, annoyed and or uncomfortable when my littlte pinky toes touch or are too near the toe next to them? Why do I hate this feeling so much? I even use my fingers to separate and or splay them when I'm lying in bed. I tried to search for it over the internet but have usually seen some concepts such as Aspergers and Restless Leg Syndrome come up? Is this just natural physical foot disorder or perhaps a mental or psychological thing? Please help. This has been bothering me for years. I undestand it is a strange pronblem.
