I'm a very touchy person, I have to touch people when i talk to them. Even when I'm talking to boys. Is this okay or weird? I mean I don't do it constantly or anything.

This is tough because most people like to have their space and if you are close enough to be touchy, then you are probably making them uncomfortable already. I would save the touchy stuff for those you know who don't mind but give others their safety zone. Touching is personal anyway. Outside of a handshake, I would not dare to touch in any other manner.

I think I would feel very uncomfortable talking to you... I really don't like being touchy or hugging people. It's not that I'm not affectionate or antisocial, I just prefer conversation alone without the additional connection.

Some people are very tactile and like to touch other people to express sincerity when they talk. Some people don't like to be touched since it implies a familiarity they may not be comfortable with. It's probably okay to do it, but be sensitive to the reaction you get from people and don't do it if you sense they are bothered by it.

I would feel a little wierd because people don't do that when they talk to me. It would be all I thought about while you were talking. But that's just me. I would probably get used to it and it wouldn't bother me anymore. I guess I don't care if people do it. I would just want to know why.

It depends on where you touch them. On the hand and arm is okay with me. But, some people can over do it.

There's nothing wrong with it as long as it doesn't get out of hand. You just seem like the affectionate type. I think many people are that way. Just remember there's some people who don't like their '' personal space '' invaded.

I think it's ok as long as you do it really quickly as in to get someone's attention or show a bit of affection. But if someone tells you they're uncomfortable with it, be sure to stop from then on out.
