I am a touch aversion person, I didn't grow out of either. I learned to cope. When I am touched by surprise the feeling varies between a light electrical charge through my body and I have a mild withdrawal response to if grabbed or touch from behind it is a lightening bolt and painful and my response it aggressive and reflexive. I hit the person who touched me then figure out there is no threat. Very strong hit first figure it out later fight response. As far as receiving touch, I am very limited. I have learned to hug and am told I give great hugs. I otherwise do not receive touch. I get sensory overload pretty quickly, and cannot tolerate light touch especially. I am very tactually defensive. If over loaded my body goes into spasm, full body convulsion that may last for hours. So, I don't subject myself to stimulation that may overload my nervous system. On the other hand you will be surprised to know I am an expert at touching people. I have specialty in treating pain, and often relieve peoples pain with my touch. I am interested in connecting with other touch aversive people.
