In the five love languages quiz I always get physical touch. I'm a big physical touch person. I like hugs, kisses, and sex when I like them.

That does not mean I want those things from every stranger. In fact, it means I am especially sensitive to physical contact when it is forced on me.

I met today a friend of a friend for the first time and she kept trying to do all these consolatory touch things. You know, because I was doing the ironic millennial thing of making jokes about being so anxious I could vibrate myself off a cliff at any moment and being fugly and so on, and she was of the more toxic positivity/post-gender/post-sexuality vibe, so when I said something self deprecating, instead of getting the joke or being like "same" (the correct millennial response) she would like, try to touch me on the shoulder? sympathetically?

Don't like that.
