Touch

Posted by Dinah on February 5, 2002, at 8:45:15

I am touch averse. I just hate to be touched. A cuddling, non moving touch is fine shared with someone I care about. But other types of touch feel irritating and unpleasant to my skin. It's a problem right now more so than usual because I have been sleeping so badly which makes me overstimulated, but it's alway a problem to some extent. As you can imagine, it can get in the way of all types of relationships, although I almost always manage to override the aversion so that I behave well.
And no, I have never been abused. My therapist always finds that hard to believe, but it's true.
Does anyone else have this problem and is there any way other than just soldiering through to effectively deal with it?
Thanks,
Dinah
