Intimacy can be quite nice, actually. It shows just how much we love each other and can really get a point across. Some people really love being up close and very personal, leading to them having no sense of personal space. Others prefer a lot of space and hate being touched constantly. Which do you prefer, and why? Thanks for your participation.

I can show I care, but I wouldn't say I have much of an emotional attachment to whatever I'm caring for. When I care for something it feels more psychological than emotional and I dunno, I just kind of go full logical.

That's why not a lot of people like me when I show my true colors, because I seem robotic and cold. I beg to differ, but one can't really know.

An example that I learned from fruits basket is that we can't really know how we are, we can only tell through someone elses eyes. How else do we know if we have a plum on our back or not?

In a sense of a way I have to say yes. I would actually do it for people I know in general I wouldn't want to be cuddling strangers you know? So if I know some person or a friend, and I am attached to them. My greets for them will be a very big hug and a smile to go with it. It goes to show how much you care for them also how you enjoy being around them.

No, I'm not a very touchy-feely person. I'm not a big fan of contact in general and showings of intimacy are not an exception. A hug or something every once in a while, is ok, but not all the time. I tend to show I care about a person or appreciate them through other, non-physical means. 

Yes I would say I am a touchy-feely type person generally to people I know. I have no clue why but I do prefer close and personal contact.

I absolutely make it a point to give lots of hugs and kisses to the people who are important to me...my wife, my kids (even though they're adults) and grand-kids. I'm not sure that qualifies as "touchy-feely", though.

I'm not a particularly affectionate person. In fact, I really don't even know how to be affectionate. Even when around people who I enjoy talking to or who's company I enjoy, even people I consider close friends, I can't help but keep a slight amount of distance. In a physical sense, I don't mind sitting next to people in the back of a small car or with several people on the couch or anything like that, but I don't like hugs. Part of that may come from the fact that I'm very skinny and my ribs are completely unprotected and It might just be me subconsciously protect them.

Not unless I'm drunk XD

In all seriousness, no, I'm not a very touchy-feely person. I enjoy affection as much as the next person, but most of the time I don't like being touched, nor do I particularly enjoy making physical contact with others. I think I picked this up from my dad, since he's the same way, but on a whole different level of being emotionally / physically distant when it comes to showing affection. It's not that he doesn't show it at all or any thing, but I think with the generation he comes from, that was just the norm for guys back in the day.

On the other hand, when it comes to a significant other, I'll admit I have my days of being overly affectionate in a physical sense. I'm pretty sure that's relatively normal, as every one has days with ups and downs spanning all of our emotions, wants, and needs. That said, those days are pretty few and far between. I do like to cuddle before bed though ^^

I don't consider myself to be a touchy-feely person in the slightest. It's different when it concerns family or close friends however, but I generally don't open myself up and become touch-feely to strangers. Perhaps I am just an overly cautious/introverted person, but I like to keep my circle of friends small and close. I value my own personal space quite a bit and I return the favor by not getting up close and personal with someone else. Personally, I think inserting yourself in someone else's personal space without permission/approval is intrusive and impolite. If I were the type of person to openly provide affection to others, I would want the other person's approval rather than just assuming it's okay to just invade someone's space. 

Altogether, I am not a touchy feely person, but I'm also not a cold, robotic person either. I just like to keep my distance from people in most cases. Again, I am a different person when it comes to my family and close friends whom I tend to be a bit more open and amiable around. 

Even though I often don't consider myself to be a touchy-feely person, some of my friends have told me that I sort of am, so I'm not really sure if I am or not. XD I do know that I like hugs and enjoy giving other people hugs though.
