Do you blurt it out or do you move away from them? You know the ones I am talking about, they cannot talk to you unless they are touching you on the arm or shoulder or somewhere else. This kind of goes with the "personal bubble" question.

If they are touching you in a way that makes you feel uncomfortable, then say something out right. Something like "Sally, I realize you like to touch people when you talk, but it really makes me feel uncomfortable".
If it's more about personal space then just take a step back. But if it's nothing more than a hand on the arm or something similarly innocent, why not try to accept it and learn to be comfortable with it. Some people are just that way and if you try to stop them then they will have a very difficult time talking and communicating because they will be very self conscious about not touching.

Awesome question! I know exactly how you feel!
If you really are uncomfortable, then tell them that it's nothing personal, but it makes you feel uncomfortable to be touched. It's not them, but how you feel with everybody you don't know intimately.
People who do not pick up on these types of things, are people who need a reality check. And sometimes you need to just tell them. We should all be aware of other people's feelings and not expect other people's intimate space to be the same.

I just keep dodging their touch until I can't stand it then I leave. They should get the hint though. I don't mind the occasional hand on the shoulder situation,but I don't like the constant touching. The only people who should be touching me are my family and close friends.

I'll be interested b/c i am a person who likes to touch and likes to be touched...but don't want to cause troubles. the personal bubble in this country has smaller demsions than my home country the USA. It took a bit of getting used to but now I'll have to be sensitive when I go back...which will be in a few months.

I stop talking and hold out my hand saying, " Do you need to hold my hand or something? You're touching me enough!" And then laugh and hope they got the point so I don't have to be mean.
That doesn't actually bother me, but that's the kind of stuff I do when I am bothered.

If it's a first time offense the I make a point of brushing off the area where they touched.
On the second offense I ask the person if they ever picked up their teeth with a broken arm.

I step back out of reach. If it continues, I tell the person I don't like his/her touching me, and after that point, I walk away.

Dramatically spin away from the hand before it makes contact, then get into a fighting stance.
...or slouch or leap in a direction away from the hand while exclaiming "AAH!! DON'T TOUCH!!"
