#bc he gets angry n defensive bc he feels rejected i suppose

[mala--draws]

i think folks need to take things less personally, and when they do, get less defensive and more introspective/curious about Why that person doesnt want em to touch em. it might not be about you, that person may be touch adverse or feeling overstimulated or any plethora of reasons. equally, it might be about you and you don't get to decide whether you follow that. you do get to decide how u react and whether u take it as an attack or something to consider.

You should be able to say “don’t touch me” to anyone ever in any context and not have it be considered in the realm of surprising or insulting imho if we ever needed to normalize something it’s this
