You are definitely not the only one on this forum who feels this way; I've had a variety of reactions to what I think of as people invading my personal space. With people who don't know it takes me a long time to tell them, if ever. Mine developed from being touched too much when young. Myself, i think it is a perfectly natural reaction. I need to find a way to tell people without offending them; I keep avoiding the subject in my own mind though.
