Maybe it's just me personally but i'm not comfortable with people hugging me or you know like some one greeting you with a kiss. Or just hanging all over. I s anybody else uncomfortable with that/

Yea, I'm kinda weird about that. I see other girls with their friends all holding arms and being all close... When girls do that to me, I feel weird about it..

Umm.. Generally I just don't know how to react when people are touchy with me... It's not as bad as it used to be though.. so that's good. :)

I am affectionate when I drink as well. I love loving people. Deep down I want that kind of affection... sober, but.... It's hard finding someone to be able to give and receive it from. Ya know? :roll:

There is nothing more on this planet which makes me more content than when im in a relationship and being affectioonate with each other.I absolutley crave affection like mad :oops: i just love holding hands,cuddling and feeling someones body and there warmth next to mine in bed ect i actualy even prefer it to sex kinda

Outside of relationships i dunno really because im staying in an awfull lot at the moment,but before i was ill when i use to knock about wid my old mates we would always slap hands together in a shake,or hug if its a girl mate... ive been mates with girls where it strictly has been a friendship only thing but weve cuddled up on the sofa infront of a movie,and fallen asleep together curledup in bed ect

Nowa days tho,just physicaly being round even people i know its just unbearable cos of my anxiety,so yeah if its not someone i feel entirley comfortable with i find it tense just having to sit near someone :?

I feel so tense when someone pats my back or puts a hand on my shoulder. Even hugging my own mom.
One time this mexican chick went to greet me (and you know how they do it by kissing each side of your face), and i got all tense and pulled away quickly wondering what the heck she was trying to do to me!
I felt like such an idiot afterwards because she kept apologizing.

I can't stand it. Its so close and feels so fake and forced.

Was awful when I visited friends in Norway, they all touch cheeks over there.

I want it, but I can't cope with it. I simply couldn't show any passion, I get worried that she would notice and yes, its not looking good for me.

Imagine if you have problems that your fat production in your face is very high. Touching my cheeks at the end of the day isn't something I would like to do.

Isn't it amazing? Normally men should be delighted when women kiss them. Someone who doesn't suffer from social phobia would laugh at this.

I'd say its more a personality thing then a specific Social phobia thing. I'm not that crazy about hugging people or public displays of affection, but I'm pretty sure I'd be like that even without the phobia. I'm sure there are plenty of extroverted people who don't like it either. The differance is that they're better at not getting embarrassed about it in public.

I like affection from my husband...and hugging my parents goodbye...but other than that, it's really weird for me to hug people. Euros are generally more welcoming like that, but where I live, it's "Get to the point, I'm busy, leave me alone." So I guess I learned the behavior. But it's so weird when some lady wants to kiss me!!! 8O Blech! Hugs, I guess I can tolerate. Unless from my MIL...lol

I'm not particularly touchy feely at all. I may appear cold and standoffish. It is better to remain detatched than put one's hand in the fire, so to speak.

I feel the same way, but I can't even act like that when i'm drunk. Ugh, I hate this...
 
I have no problem with people hugging me, well I love attention. I just don't like it when people touch you when you don't expect it. It also depends on the person, some people will try to touch me and I can't stand it, and it makes me feel sick.
