Don't Touch

I'm almost 32-years-old and I've recently become aware of the fact that I don't like people touching me. Seriously, cringe-like reactions. Uncontrollable cringe-like reactions. I can take a slap to the back as a form of greeting but if that hand stays on me for more than a second I get very uncomfortable. The finger poke irritates the fuck out of me. My favorite seat at the bar is at the unused waitress station that has railings on each side keeping possible perpetrators at bay. I just don't like being touched.

And half the time I'm at home I have my hand down my pants. Go figure.
