For resins I had a very bad fear of being touched. Even shaking another person's hand was challenging for me. Through going to the meets over time I am finding that I am over coming this fear and it is helping me to put to rest the past.
That's pretty bad. Thankfully I'm not like that.
No, my nerves apparently just receive too much information, so things like brushing up against people could actually legit hurt in some cases (though that's been going down slowly over time)
I honestly think it's linked to my sense of smell, though.
I think I can ease into hugging people if I'm around them long enough to get used to their scent.
It's weird I know.
But some of my oldest memories are of smells and smells alone.
