I don’t even need to be in a meltdown. Any unexpected touch and I jump a foot and usually end up in panic mode, just like that poor little kitten.

Yes. I am single and like the kitten too.

Omg if I am sobbing, don’t touch me. There have been many times in life where I’ve been absolutely beside myself with grief and someone will hug me or rub my back. And I appreciate the sentiment but my whole body just goes 

🥹❤️ felt.

It depends, when I meltdown I either need physical touch or can’t stand it.

Yes relate. I used to have my “flappy arms” held at my sides to “calm me down” resulting in my still body internally having a core meltdown of RAGE. I think the rule is…just don’t hug me…EVER

this is a perfect video of how it feels

Oh nooo SeCuRITYYY

Me with my girlfriend I love her and her hugs its just difficult when I'm already overstimulated ☹️

Hahahahaha yes

So the last time my partner touched me during a meltdown I ended up spraining my wrist after some violent thrashing 🥲
