#touch repulsion
“Why did you push me away?”
“Maybe you should seek therapy.”
“If you don’t touch people, what would you do if you were dying and someone had to resuscitate you?”
“Can’t you give me a hug just this once? We’re meant to be family!”
“I’m not coming onto you or anything, don’t be dramatic.”
“You should be over this by now.”
“It’s okay, you don’t need to feel obliged to touch if it makes you uncomfortable.”
“Ah! It felt like it burned when I touched you!” (for powers which make touch difficult)
“Tell me why you think I’m obligated to hug you?”
“This is really awkward, but I don’t want to cuddle or anything. It’s not me being cold or anything…”
“This isn’t normal.”
“I hate being this way, but I can’t help it, so shut up about it!”
“I’m not abnormal, and you need to get over it.”
“Get the fuck off of me!”
“Hey! Keep away from them, they don’t like it.”
“You really hurt their feelings when you refused to hug. You should apologise.”
“It’s a pleasure to meet you. Uh… I don’t shake hands. It’s personal, I’m sorry.”
“My reasons are my own and I don’t have to explain myself.”
