I am sick of people I don't know, male and female, not matter how "nice" they think they are, thinking they have the right to make unpermitted physical contact with me in social and public places, like constantly tapping my shoulder to demand attention when eye contact and SAYING something or trying to put a hand on my shoulders, patting my head like a pet or steering me around with a hand on the small of my back like a shopping trolley. I find myself having to duck, wriggle and dodge just to maintain the personal space I am comfortable with, and you'd think if I was feeling uncomfortable people would respect that and back off. No. Either they keep chasing and pawing me, in a one step forward-two-steps-back creepy body contact tango or even friends to reprimand my careful, evasive reaction to the hugs, cheek kissing, chin tilting, hair stroking, knee patting, garment tugging ugh, because someone "really hurt" that I "got the wrong idea" and didn't like it.
I don't care if you say it's "innocent", or " I'm *not* being sleazy!!!/ he's just friendly touchy-feely, huggy guy/ you're paranoid/frigid and prudish/over -exaggerating", I don't feel comfortable with it and it just creeps me out. Anything other than a handshake while being introduced just feels invasive and I don't what to be guilted out and made to feel unfriendly or stuck up for rejecting unwanted physical contact, even if it is non-sexual. STRANGER DO NOT TOUCH ME.
