    Why the hell do YOU want to know? I don't really think it's anybody's business but mine. Oh I know, you probably are thinking,"That alfie, he'd never be offended by somebody asking if he was "Touchy" Well, YOU'RE RIGHT!!!! I'm probably the least "Touchy" person here. So put that in your pipe and smoke it!!!

    PS, I hope everyone is having a nice day.

    Why are you asking me that! What is it about me that you don't like? Are you implying that I hate M&Ms? .....They are also always coming on TV talking about how their chocolate is the best, but I know that isn't so........ Swan
    Yes Im a very touchy person. I like to touch hands, feet, hair and faces and like to slip an arm around if I can and catch a feel. I like the feel of women. Nothing like it......... refiners fire
    I'm one of those who has a bad habit of touching people when I talk to them. I think it comes from my southern up-bringing. I'm not quite as bad as I use to be but it still slips out once in a while. ........ plmkrzy

    LOL You three are being naughty, now go to your rooms.

    I'm not real touchy,I know everyone is going to have a different opinion about matters sometimes they agree sometimes they don't I "try" not to take everything to heart.

    I tend to be "touchy" on a certain time of the month, or if something is bothering me and I drink too much it all comes out and I can overreact. I am also very "touchy" about my weight, but I think that is most women.

    I try not to group people together by race, but I do find myself doing it at times, but not always.

    When someone disagrees with me, I try and see the other side, but if I am sure what I am saying is the truth, I will argue the point, but only when I am sure of myself.

    I also thought this was about a different type of "touchy" when I read the topic.

    This is the first time I ever heard anyone admit to that. I "feel" everyone will do this at least once in their life time but we will deny it to the bone.

    if something is bothering me and I drink too much it all comes out and I can overreact.

    Not to bring up bad memories for you, but after reading a little about you, I can appreciate that, you've gone through some hell that some of will never go through. Keep your chin up.

    Peace James.

    Thanx James, I didn't expect anyone to comment on what I said.

    I do my best to tell the truth, but at times it can do more damage than good. For the most part I tell the truth. I have been through alot and because of that my tears don't come unless I have had a few too many to drink. It is the only way I can bring myself to cry about anything pertaining to myself. So, by the time it comes out, it explodes and not in a way I would like. Thank you for your comments I sincerely apprciated it. I try to watch how much I drink when something is bothering me.

    Re "touchy" was in sensitive to criticism, I have a pretty thick skin. Growing up as a JW helped me develop that. I tend to laugh things off, unless I'm having a particularly bad day.

    As for "touchy" in the other sense, yes I am. I love to hug and be hugged, I occasionally touch people when I talk to them. I like to have some contact with other people.

    "Touchy" is in the hand of the touchee or toucher.

    "Oversensitive" is a word people apply to people when they insult them and that person is hurt.

    Is a person oversensitve when they touch a hot burner and quickly move away? No, because it is recognition of physical danger and the need to quickly react to protect their hand.

    What is that phrase, "push someone's buttons"? That means if you know what bothers that person and deliberately set out to upset or hurt them, are they "oversensitive" when then react?

    "Oversensitive" to me means the person jumps to conclusions and assigns bad motives without having heard the whole story.

    Yes, when it comes to bullies and people who THINK they know what's best for you especially when they don't follow their own advice.
