There’s someone I’ve known for a few years now who is much older than I am. She sometimes puts her hand on my shoulder or forearm and sometimes stands close with me with our shoulders touching when we converse.

However, we clash in terms of personality and have had some tough conversations before when I got stressed with my personal life. We trust each other deeply, but we have very different opinions.

I always get the impression that she hates me, but she continues to be friendly with me.

In general if someone touches you, does that indicate that they don’t hate you? I’ve heard books saying *”People don’t touch things they dislike”*, but she does it to everyone. Do you personally touch people, even ones you dislike for politeness?

  1. No, touching of someone that you genuinely dislike is not common.

  2. “We trust each other deeply.” People who hate you don’t feel that way.

    Either way, just ask.

  3. the only scenario where i would touch someone i hate/dislike is to slap them or punch them

    just ask her if she dislikes you lmao

  4. I used to clash something shocking with a former coworker, we fought over everything. But I never hated the guy, and we were oddly good friends despite it. Tbh I think we were just too similar. I’m not a touchy person myself, but some people definitely can be.
