Topic: How do I get people to stop touching me?

Anonymous A started this discussion 11 years ago #45,211

In casual conversation. The touch of the shoulder or elbow. Bumping into you to emphasize a point. Hate that shit.

You can call me autistic or whatever, that's fine, but I HAVE TO FUCKING STOP THIS. How?!

Thanks

@OP
Simple. Stop showering. Do not change socks or underwear.
No one is going to get close to you.

You must master th ancient anime technique of the quickstep. This is when you move extremely rapidly, faster than the eye can see, so it looks like you have simply teleported to another spot. This will allow you to dodge their touches.

Invent a force field. Carry a taser and shock anyone who touches you. Become a porcupine.

Please stop being silly. Myself and other Minichanners are trying to give OP constructive advice and you're just spouting nonsense. It isn't very helpful.

Excuse me, but my advice could not be more relevant or helpful. The fact that you are unable to recognize quality advice when you see it is not my problem. Thanks.

Use people's natural apprehension of touching cactuses and get clothing with a cactile design.

Serious answer, use your body language. Cross your arms when talking to them, they act as a shield and suggest you don't trust the person you're talking with, therefore discouraging them from touching you

scream loudly when they move to do so

You can seriously just ask them to stop, op. I have done this before and no one ever freaked out on me.

@OP
Twitch and start muttering to yourself when you're touched.

Physical examples are the worst. Hey let me grab you and let me show you exactly what happened. I don't like touching people either OP. I like being nice and friendly, lets just not touch.

Try what The Owl said and report back? @596,937 (The Owl !KThEOwLwbU)
