No hugs!

[alias_sqbr]

I've been meaning to make a post about this for ages but it refuses to come out right.

So: on the whole I don't like hugs. That includes virtual *hugs*. I am for some reason ok with "positive vibes". Touching in general I'm wierd about. It's not a fear thing, or a sex thing (mostly, though that does make things more fraught), it's more an emotional thing. It doesn't mean I don't like you!

I'm...weird about emotions. I have real trouble expressing them, and by the time I'm at a point where I can talk about something that makes me sad I'm usually not actually feeling that sad about it, and people comforting me as if I am sad makes me Very Uncomfortable(*).

I also tend to get weirded out by flirting, even if it's obvious the other person is joking. (Though sometimes I'm not) On the whole I get uncomfortable talking about sex, though this is the result of neurosis not conservatism (or lack of interest! :)), and the more dispassionate and intellectual the discussion the more comfortable I am.

Aaaannd that's enough of that. You can ask questions if you feel you need clarification but I may have trouble answering. Right now I feel like I've been holding my hand to a mild electrical current (a rough approximation of my mental response to thinking about things that make me feel neurotic).

(*)The primary motivation for this post being that I can link to it when I think I'm in danger of being given lots of *hug*s

But are they GOOD vibes or BAD vibes? It's very important!

Y'know, if this comment wasn't in reply to a post about you explaining how you are neurotic, I'd leve you hanging on that, just for shiggles. =]

Seeing as it is, however, I'll just mope a little inside and clarify: *sends positive vibes*

Heh. Under the circumstances I think my neurosis could cope with the uncertainty ("Odds that bunny_m wants to send me negative vibes: low") but thankyou :)
