I agreed with some of the initial comments but then, I thought about how I feel about it and I see why someone might ask this.
Right before finishing highschool and up until I kinda dropped out from college I became very shy, lonely and weird to the point where I wouldn't leave home for weeks at a time. Talking to strangers on the internet was the only way I socialized for the most part and when I forced myself into social environments, such as college, I struggled with my reactions when people touched me (even in non sexual ways, or should i say mostly in non sexual ways since I wasn't getting much back then). I think I felt disgusted by the people around me and I couldn't help myself but react badly to it.
It still happens often at work with girls and some guys, I feel awkward but I try not to react badly. I've started to react better when it happens and I'm even enjoying it when certain people do... but I think it's mostly because I've opened myself a lot to people. I think that eventually I won't struggle so much with something so silly that shouldn't require much thought into.
