I get to be a ridiculous grab-bag of "get away"/"hold me". I've never been all that comfortable with random physical contact, except with BFs and then I can be very cuddly. I totally grasp the concept of "touch-starved" that pops up in fic, because it describes me fairly well That said, even in a relationship, some types of physical contact still bothers me - like the constant guiding hand on the back or even worse, the back of the neck.
Thanks to my wonderful fandom friends that I've met in real life, I've gotten used to being hugged by people I don't know very well. But I suspect it's still hilarious watching me get hugged unexpectedly. I basically freeze, flinch, and then remember that you're supposed to hug back.
