Is it JUST me who has a problem like this? I love my friends I really do but they always poke, hit, grab/pull me or pinch me. I know they're just joking but everytime it makes me so uncomfortable. But I don't say anything cause I don't wanna seem sensitive or "weak" in their eyes. I'm a people pleaser. I mean i'm REALLY a people pleaser. I care so much about pleasing everyone else even if it means I have to feel kinda violated. But I also feel like my friends at our big age should know that you shouldn't be touching/hitting/poking/ all of the above people without permission. Even if they're your friends, you can't just assume they'll be okay with it. I for certain am not. I don't like when people just try to rough-house with me. I don't like horseplay. i'm a gentle person. i like gentle touch. And even then not without permission. sometimes my friends also go up to me and hug me, or touch me kind of weirdly. I hate that even more. It just makes me downright uncomfortable and on top of that, I have a partner. and they know that. And of course, without asking they do it. But i'm just too afraid to tell them because i'm worried they'll get like offended or smth or like said, think i'm sensitive. There's nothing wrong with being sensitive or at least to me, but i dunno about them. And yeah i don't mind a hug or maybe like an arm around my neck but flirty contact is crossing a line. so is hitting and stuff. like what did I do? It's not all my friends that do it but a lot of them do. That or they just invade my personal space. a lot. every day. But yeah..just kinda wanted to ramble about that without them seeing cause scratch is where I go to express myself and stay anonymous to *certain* people I know.
GAhhhdsoooooooou I hate it smmm but i'm too much of a pushover to do smth about it
