Hate human physical contact

[Diana]

I used to hate physical contact and still avoid it to a degree but that's because I used to exchange energy and empathy to an acute degree through touch. I can make it more subtle now so it's not overwhelming.

I think an aversion to touch, generally speaking, derives from an awareness of energy exchange as Aion pointed out. There are subsets of this which could range from heightened awareness to mental imbalance, but the core issue is energy exchange.

At the very least there is the concept of personal space, for which it would be wise to set boundaries. There are exchanges of energy even if a person doesn't consciously know. If one has an aversion to touch, I would say listen to it. Ask self why in an objective way. If thoughts surface about resentments or abuses, one can work through that but the impulse to avoid touch is probably a good one until the mind and emotions are balanced. If the aversion is based on a heightened awareness of energy exchanges, one can work on building protection for one's energy field. Banishing rituals, tai chi, or any number of regular practices may help that.

There have been times when I had that "disgust" sensation, and of my skin crawling. This was in reaction to particular people. I did not feel that way because there was something obviously physically repulsive, it was an energetic reaction. For instance, I might feel that an individual has a strong sexual attraction to me and I react without thought to avoid contact. Some part of me knows to avoid this person. There are nonsexual examples as well.

There are two separate concepts here. There is intimate/sexual touch, and general nonsexual touch. The trouble is that people today hug and handle others in an intimate way very casually. Most of this isn't even based on genuine feelings, rather its just what is done. This crosses boundaries and unless one wants to leave one's self wide open to any and all energies, one must set some boundaries and/or protect the energy body from accumulating outside debris and losing energy to others (osmosis: the tendency of matter to pass through a membrane from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration, can be applied to energy). We don't have to do what others do and put up with strangers hugging us, or even family if we aren't inclined. Serving one's self is as important as serving others.  

There needs to be the concept of choice in physical contact.
