That kind of pisses me off and that's weird having strangers coming up to me and touching me.Well speaking as a touch-type person, firstly I agree that it can make people feel awkward, although how much more awkward is a relationship with someone (eg friendship) if mere touching is beyond boundaries?
Unwanted touching is out-of-bounds. Personally, I have different boundaries for different people depending on whether they're intimate friends, just friends, acquaintances, or strangers.
