one of my issues with the over-used “touch starved” trope is that it is often misapplied to characters that are shown to just not enjoy constant contact physical affection because they are not extremely physically affectionate personalities, and/or they are selective about WHO they want touching them and WHEN they want to be or are okay with being touched (example: law)

100% exactly yep yep

"touch starved" phrase is describing a problem/issue but for many personalities it's not actually "so sad and needs to be fixed!!" to set boundaries regarding their personal space. i dislike it that it implies that that aspect of their life/mental state is broken making them an incomplete character. irks me a whole bunch when its stretched on without any thought
