Why can't people just respect boundaries, epsecially boundaries when it comes to touching/any physical contact? There's someone that I have to tell repeatedly very time I see them to not touch my face or don't touch me without permission, especially since we aren't close and why I don't feel feel comfortable with them touching me to begin with. Its both a sensory and trama response issue and it really irritates me when people just refuse to respect boundaries.

@Viynyl From the way you've explained it here, they're being creepy and refusing to respect your boundaries. I'm not sure what you can do in your situation, but I want you to know you're not crazy or overreacting for feeling this way. I've been in situations with people who ignore physical boundaries no matter what you say or do, and it's incredibly isolating. It makes you feel like there's something wrong with you for not wanting or enjoying their contact when the problem is THEIRS.

Oh my GOD this is so frustrating š¤ I am so non-confrontational because of trauma so I just let people get away with it and keep my mouth shut.

I have and I've been expressing it and dodgeing their hands every time they go to touch me for years, I don't know how else to get them to stop
