I didn't used to like 'touch', but once I learned to 'touch w/ intention' -or- to touch another w/ my empathy and my strength (a conscious effort to let them feel they have someone to lean on), I realized that is what is often missing when another touches me, and that is what makes 'their touch' uncomfortable.
Try it, if you understand what I'm saying. Feelin' funky today. Anyway, it's a very caring and humane way to connect w/ others. Touch w/ intention to let them draw from your strength.
It may give you some insight into the prob' of certain peeps touching you.
welcome, cf
