[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 243294, member: 3907"] Toto, I'm with you. For the most part I'm a non-touch person. Even among close friends and family, there are some I can accept hugs from and others not. husband, sister in law, Little easy child, sometimes mother in law....that's about it. For me, I think the issue is twofold. First, there's the unwelcome touch. I've had too much unwelcome touch forced on me in my life, and I just don't put up with it anymore. Most good friends and family understand this and don't try. Then, it seems as though the force-huggers always want to back you into a corner so that you can't avoid the hug. I can't stand being cornered. difficult child is a force-hugger. He will back people into corners and smother them with hugs and wet kisses. Even when he was a small child it was oppressive, and now that he's a giant man it's just unacceptable. They've even instituted rules at his Residential Treatment Center (RTC) about this. No touching other people unless they welcome it, and then only certain types of touch, and they time him. Hugs are "one-mississippi, two-mississippi, break". Kisses only if he asks and receives permission first, and he has to take no for an answer, with no coercion. So, you're definitely not the only one. Cyber hugs are just right. Trinity [/QUOTE]
