Stab Stab Stab Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 Don't take the title inappropriately, I just mean being physical during conversations, like patting someones back when they're upset or putting your hand on their shoulder. I've been told I do that a lot while conversing with people and I never noticed before but it's true and now I can't stop thinking about it! Do any of you do it? Is it a bad thing?

Azaxx Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 I never do it, nor get it done unto me. But I don't have a problem with it at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stab Stab Stab Posted March 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 But I don't have a problem with it at all. That's good, I think the reason I do it is because I feel it makes whatever I'm saying more personal and meaningful, but one of my friends told me it's weird so now I'm kind of self-conscience about it.

BaconShelf Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 I hate being touched. And vice versa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeckoningZebra1 Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 Where I'm at its pretty common to touch each other in conversation (unless you're a stranger) its not anything to be worried about 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yoshi1176 Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 Depends on when and where, doesn't it? Yes, you wouldnt give some one a high five at a funeral lol. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haloman 2 Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 well it depends on what it is about and where it is like stated above. If it's at a funeral give the person a pat on the back and make them feel better for a few days. if they are happy give them a high five or something. it also depends on if the person likes to be touched or not. i don't care if people touch me as long as it isn't like punching or kicking like people do to me on my bus or two kids do to me in my first class of the day. any ways it just really depends on what the situation is. over all for me i think it's ok. and for your friend it really isn't too weird. maybe for him it is but not other people. just ask him if he likes to be touched in a conversation or not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fishy Posted March 15, 2013 Report Share Posted March 15, 2013 It depends. Do they find it uncomfortable? If they find it comfortable, then it's ok. If it's not comfortable.. you better stop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Director Posted March 30, 2013 Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 This is actually a pretty interesting topic. There is such a thing as being over touchy. For instance, it's not usually common-place for men to touch each other except in moments of celebration (i.e. fist bumps, etc), and it's iffy on men/women convos. Also, some people just don't like being touched, or are picky about who they let touch them. These people will usually either let you know or look very uncomfortable. Other people think it's odd for people to not touch during conversation. It's a completely situation dependent thing, so I'm afraid you'll have to learn as you go. However, if you go by "when in doubt, don't touch", it should make things easier. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
