How do you feel about physical contact?

[Alistair]

Upon first meeting I prefer a firm handshake, if its something more than a handshake; such as a hug, we'd have to get to know each other very well before any hugs happen.

I have clammy hands which is why I get anxiety about holding hands/shaking hands/high five-ing which makes my hands get even worse. It's an unfortunate cycle.

I hear you sister! Sweaty hands are one of my worst anxieties.

i am really fine with anyone touching me in those said ways on the first post, although if i hardly know the person, and they go too far, i get nervous.

 Well, really depends on the person giving the hug, hand holding, kissing etc. At camp last year, I met my favorite person in the world. He was soo cute   He has black bieber hair and he looks deliceous    Well, anyways we hugged like 50 times a day, and held hands and put are arms around eachother. We still talk, over texting and are planning to go to camp again the same session so we can again    But back to the point, it really depends on the person doing the touching. Like if it was my brother, someone that I really didn't like, child malesters etc I would probably bish slap 'em and run the hell away

Depends on what type of contact. I don't mind hugging anyone, though for you to really feel a hug from me, you must be someone I care about.

I'm not into physical contact... I find it awkward and uncomfortable. I'll hug family members if they want me to and I shake peoples hands if they hold them out, that's just because I don't want to be rude. My partner is the only person I'm obviously OK with hugging and all that other stuff...

I like it. Infact I love it, it gives me a good read of what the persons like or how they feel, like the difference between a firm handshake and someone trying to crush your damn hand might be dependent on their stress levels, or for example a hug, if they snuggle themselves into your neck  and hug you tightly, they are happy to see you and need you around for some reason.. Just small details like that make everything to me so intimate.

I love it nothing is better then a nice snuggle.

My parents were older when I was born, so that meant being taught a lot of the older things. Make sure your handshake is firm, that kind of stuff. Tends to get me confused sometimes nowadays because it doesn't seem like it's pushed as much. Hugs from some people Make me feel a bit awkward. I sometimes over analyze things when it comes to body language. Habit.

I'm up for it

Hugging and hand-shaking are alright usually. What really weirds me out is people touching my back or my hair, it's just such an unpleasant sensation. Especially if I don't know who's doing it, or they do it repeatedly.

[Keinai]

I only hug my family from the front, otherwise I just like side hugs or A-frame hugs. But that's only when I like hugs, which is extremely rare.

I don't like physical contact tbh. I don't mind a firm handshake now and again but I won't hesitate to throw someone off of me as if I was being mugged.

I hate my hair being touched unless it's by a stylist and I hate touching someone else's hair.

I don't like being touched, especially by surprise, but I'm okay with hugs, group hugs or a simple hand shake.

[Cecilia Peromi]

Is it wierd that I don't really mind a surprise massage?

I love having physical contact with people, but only when I start it. I can't stand being touched after i've asked someone not to, but I guess that applies to everyone I'm completely down for hugs, but only when i'm aware of it. Well, with friends, anyway.

I'd never be as touchy-feely with family as I am with friends. It's even gotten to the point where I try and avoid my dads hugs, because he doesn't appreciate when I don't want them. Ah, well.

Basically, Yes to physical contact most of the time
