How does one determine where they stand(?) when it comes to the touch stances?
Like I think I'm either touch oscillating or touch ambivalent (I'm not 100% sure)
I am very much uncomfortable with being hugged (or really just touched in general) without warning (which my dad does a lot), and I can't stand touching strangers (the best I can do is a fist bump)
I'm like a cat in the sense that I either have to be the one to initiate the affection or in rare cases it's someone I'm close to that can initiate it (if that makes sense) and even then I rarely initiate affection (physical) at all
At camp, the riflery counselor would ask permission before touching someone to adjust their grip or position, which I thought was great because not everyone is comfortable with being touched (like me).
Ironically, the only person he forgot to ask was me, the only kid in the unit who was uncomfortable with being touched.
