You beat me. You have given two moré hugs than me in the forum. ;-)

For what I have read in the forums, avoiding physical contact is pretty common in avoidants and social phobia.

I'm not very comfortable with physical contact unless I know the person well.

I had and have a mother who never express affection through physical contact. She is better with words, so I am.
Anyway, I had the opportunity to get used to touching and being touched.
Here, in my country, people touch you when you less expect it. Lol!
It's a cultural thing.
