I try not to touch those I don’t know
Yes, but, also, you can think you know someone and it should be ok to touch and then realize you were wrong. 
@PinCushion unkess it’s my husband I ask before I touch… good rule of thumb

My father forbade me to object to a man handling me when I was a kid. He was a jerk.

@PinCushion sounds like it
I’m a very touchy person,
So, yes actually.
I was in my late 20s when I realized I was the problem and that touching strangers or near strangers is totally out of line.
I don’t do that anymore, but I’m very touchy with people I know well.
People’s space needs to be respected,
For a long time I just thought I was being friendly,
but not everyone immediately associates touch with friendly.

I have a friend who I like. I don’t like him touching me or hugging me, because otherwise I fall in love with him. I don’t want to cos I’m not strong for love atm.
Yeah from her boyfriend. Just kidding.

It’s one of the reasons I mostly stopped attending AA in person. People there hug too much and you just don’t do that now with COVID out there.

YES.
Never ever touch someone without consent. Even with someone you know who has regularly consented in the past, it’s important to make sure there is ongoing consent.
