these kids are just so humbling and amazing.

im surprised you bothered to leave a comment.

also, your half-assed response proves my point. you cant just go around touching people you dont know; you dont know what someone else has been through so to assume everyone is okay being touched is a dangerous assumption. people are “touchy” - way to make a joke about people who have reason to be touchy. requiring…

do you not understand the word “misconstrued” or did you just happen to ignore the fact that i put it in there because you wanted to jump down someones throat?

why assume id want to be touched by strange people in a different country? i mean that’s just one assumption you’ve made - this is why violence and assault exists. because people dont take a minute to understand someone elses boundaries. just dont go around touching people you dont know- it’s just not ok.

yep it’s definitely dependent on the situation. the way i envisioned it - if im talking SO MUCH that i cannot shut up, it must be important - im an introvert so i dont really start rambling unless it’s something that absolutely needs to be said. so for someone to insinuate they can touch me to get me to stop talking…

dont agree with me because you’ll get responses telling you that you should stop existing because you dont think people should go around touching other people without permission. you’ll also get called mentally unstable. so be careful what you agree with.

you’re a horrible person - so much so that you left the same comment twice just to spread negativity into someone elses life. going around telling people they should “Cease to exist” is an awful thing to say to someone you dont know. AS IS TOUCHING SOMEONE YOU DONT HAVE PERMISSION TO TOUCH. simply because i explained…

wow - someone who agrees with me without calling me a sociopath or mentally unstable. thanks!

im canadian.

you are an asshole.

Weird - I dont find I have “inadequate” social skills nor do i have “mental problems” and I find that touching people is not okay.

my reaction to anyone leaning into or near my space in a forward motion is that you feel entitled to my space and i therefore shut down and nothing you say matters (to me, that is - this isnt a conscious decision, it’s instinct in this case) because i feel slightly violated. a symbolic gesture is still a gesture.…

maybe it’s because of my own personal experiences, but i feel like leaning into my space is super aggressive.

in college in 2003, my professors used this site for a lot of projects - i was mesmerized. now i do this for fun sometimes. my life is boring.

im actually not surprised there’s an article about this; this is something i see quite often in the ladies room (or just flat out not even attempting to even just use water alone; just walking straight out) so i know for a fact people need a damn reminder. i applaud this article. people without immune systems (like…

maybe that’s the vibe im talking about - it feels manipulative or entitled to me that someone thinks they just have permission to touch me.

number 4 could be misconstrued as attempted assault depending on who you’re talking to and what you’re talking about. even at work, in a normal discussion, if someone touches me my blood starts boiling. i dont know how that’s even sound advice - suggesting people touch other people?? yikes.

ew! he has serious mommy issues. :(

interesting. now i know why i cannot tolerate SNL anymore. fk this guy and his ego. egos are so gross.
