I was gifted a 1 hour massage (head to toe). I've had massages in the past, but they were never pleasant experiences. In fact, instead of relaxing time, it was a nail biter and it hurt. It's been 2-3 years since and never wanted another one. Well, the other day my back was so bad that I could not stand straight and was in a terrible amount of pain. Hence, the massage.
I was very apprehensive today to go due to past experiences and was told to "have fun and enjoy it"....since it was a gift, I am not going to be rude, obviously. I was grateful. That being said, I still didn't like it. I just can't relax and enjoy it when I know a stranger is going to be touching my bare flesh.
I am probably the only person who does not like it...least I feel that way.
My problem is that when someone else to touch my skin I get goose bumps and it's almost to the point to where it hurts. To just about everyone else, they don't understand.
It's petty and silly, I know.
Question is, is this something maybe related to anxiety ... does anyone else feel similar?
..I also don't get my hair done nor nails for the same matter.
