Kinda sucks having the heightened sensitivity to touch, combine that with just general low self esteem and ignorance of whether someone likes you or not is disastrous. I had mistakenly interpreted a touchy person liked me because of how constant their contact was. I had to set my boundaries, but at the same time their affection was so addicting. I'm almost out of it, but I've been sorting through these feelings for a while now.

Whenever I m with my family, because we have a very hugging and cuddling relationship with one another I don t actually feel any problems I ve noticed, however whenever I m in public with friends I notice I have most of the symptoms listed here, I never understand why I so badly wanted to be touched, sometimes just randomly patting there shoulder because of it, so I'm glad for this video so I understand why! :DD

How bad would it be if you don't feel alone or isolated despite that being the case while any touch feels like a small sharp sting next to emotions being a major issue with some sort of touch that hasn't got any malicious intent behind it? Really just. can't feel alone even when actively alone. Not to mention managing my own emotions without any assistance whatsoever.

Wow. I never thought about this. I havent had a true connection for years. Only friends who beg for money to consider friendship. I cant find the right people. Cant find the right friends. I used to open up too easily. I refuse to open up these days and feel like a relationship or new friendship just isn't worth it

All of these are sooo true! I remember getting my first haircut after the lockdowns. Whilst I was having my hair washed, I started crying. I felt overwhelming happiness just being touched by another person. I explained to my hairdresser, and she couldn't have been kinder about it

Funny, how my family is refusing to give me a hug or even a comfort pat on the back i just asked them for it.
Its the first time i asked in years. Quoted was told to get the hell out of there face.
No wonder i am touch starved.
Vedio was perfectly timed.

I love this video and the other one as they did help me realise that I'm touch starved, I wish I could get someone to diagnose me, but I can't so I'll just have to deal with hugging others until I can reach out to someone.

seeing a couple autistics saying they don't like touch. this autistic loves hugs and other forms of touch. the odd times I'm feeling hypersensitive, I just need someone who can respect that and listen.

I had touch starvation for a long time after my stepdads abuse. Hell if a guy even touched me i go into a panic attack. So i just didnt let people touch me. Hated social situations.

Strangely no.
But I really don't like anyone touching me.
I'm only okay with cats and reptiles touching me.
Except maybe 11 people, I am only okay with those 11 people.

Is there like an opposite to this? Touch doesn't make me feel anything. If anything, I feel angry when my mom hugs me because I know I'm supposed to feel something but I don't.

I require a lot of personal space. And, yeah, you lost me at being around people that genuinely care for you or something like that.
