Re: ^#{The Bubble People}#^
maybe there are some undiagnosed autism or augsberger things going on in this person? Or maybe they've been hurt deeply in the past. If that's the case, then it may take you a very long time to earn their trust. Be patient. Show the Love of God to them thru you and your actions and words. Respect their space.

Re: ^#{The Bubble People}#^
EA I take you are talking about more than just not liking to be hugged. It sounds like this person does not let people close emotionally as well as physically.

That's what I'm thinking....they're crossing the line from being in a bubble, to aggressively protecting their boundaries.
Is it an attention-getter? Or do they really feel that strongly about being approached or touched?

Re: ^#{The Bubble People}#^
I don't like to be hugged either. In fact I feel the skin attempt to physically move away from the points of contact (if it is a person of the same sex).
And furthermore, I expect people to respect my feelings (once they are made aware of them).

Not everyone is "touchy-feely." There's nothing wrong with that. It doesn't sound like Edward's example is just opposed to hugs, though. 
My poor husband, when we go to family reunions on my mother's side--they are all huggers. It doesn't matter if they are your 5th cousin twice removed, and they don't know you from Adam--if you're at the reunion, you must be family, and you will be hugged. 
Jeff's pretty tolerant, though.

Re: ^#{The Bubble People}#^
When I was young I WAS SO PAINFULLY shy.I always wore my coat inside because it covered me and it was like a protective armer.I would sit in the back of the class and watch every one and enjoy the activity on the outside looking in.I wanted to get involved but was to afraid to so I spent many years missing out on things because every one thaught I was stuck up and that I thaught I was better than every one else.During this time period I would become close in my heart for certain poepleexcept those who I liked never knew I liked them because I couldnt get the couredge to let them know.As time passed God helped me with this problem,but I cant be the center of attention in a large groupb or my legs goes all rubbery,and I feel like Im going to pass uot and get sick to my stomach and break out in cold sweats its awful to me.when I got to an age when I had to sing in church I thaught I was going to have a heart attack and die right there on the platform,but they let me turn to rthe side so that I could get started and then Jesus would be with me and everything was fine unless I got off key.Things are better now but even though I want to be loved and hugged in church I still have the tendancy to stiffen when Im showing affection in church.There have been poeple who have cared enough to push through all that and I have become very close to them.The reason behind this story is because the bubble poeple want to be reached they just dont know how to be the first to reach out and sometimes it takes awhile but you have to keep pushing its for that souls own good! God wants you to keep pushing and that bubble person wants you to keep pushing also.Those poeple feel bad every time they make the other person feel rejected because that is not thier intent at all.

Re: ^#{The Bubble People}#^
I for one, am thrilled we have decided, as movement, to disregard the clear teaching of Paul, and disobey the 5 scriptures demanding that we brethren greet one another with a holy kiss.
There are far to many scriptures we can dig up and impose upon our women folks to be bothered by this directive to us men.
