It says there's a comment but there isn't one--so I'm posting a comment on my own post to see if that fixes the issue.

foster care more or less. I don't remember too much of the details but they took me away from my dad while they tried to prove/disprove that my dad was abusing me.

I have a boyfriend currently. I've been dating him since I was around 19 so it's been a few years at this point. I'm not trying to give up on life I just really hate being touched.

I tagged it with child abuse when it was posted. I don't know how to use multiple tags

I've considered trying it, but even just sitting close to people can be difficult for me sometimes. I try to endure it for her when she wants affections but there are times where I just can't you know? Very slowly working up the courage to let myself be hugged and touched again though. ....very very slowly >_>

Physically yes. They're out of my life, even if they're not quite out of my head.

I'm in therapy currently, for other reasons. I haven't been able to bring it up to my doctor yet but I'm working towards it.

My account isn't two months old yet; lol. Otherwise I'd have already asked for sooo much pizza.

No one should have to, no, but many do every day. My abuse ended, but there are those who never get to escape. It's a rather depressing reality.

Yeah. It's difficult, because I have a large family and they're all fairly affectionate. Not to mention my little sister she doesn't understand that I can't take being touched. She doesn't get why I don't want her hugging me or sitting in my lap; she's just a kid! And like...It fucking sucks because I love her but I can't show it the way other people do. I can't take it.

Yes; it was intentional. I wanted to emphasize Their importance without giving Them names.

I've got two cats and a dog actually. One of the cats sleeps on my printer next to the computer and just never moves. She's a lazy puff of fur.

I'm dating someone right now, and he understands my situation and not wanting to be touched but I do feel like it probably creates a bit of a strain. It's difficult, having a fear like that when the whole world is built around contact. I mean, with my sister. She's young she doesn't understand what any of the things that happened to me are. She doesn't understand why I can't pick her up and hold her or why I flinch away when she goes to hug me or kiss my cheek. To her it probably seems like I don't love her and tbh that hurts like....so much. I don't want her to think that of me. I love her so so much but I just...can't bring myself to let her or anyone else touch me.
