    That’s me. I had no idea other families were affectionate and said crazy stuff like, “I love you.” My god, they even hug.

    To this day I struggle with affection, even though I love it. If you touch me unexpectedly I’ll involuntarily flinch. I don’t mind, at all, but I still jerk and can’t help it.
