I love light touches, but only if it's someone I'm very comfortable with & love. That can be my sons, my Mom, my kitties, & a few colse friends. But I do know what you mean how you feel. It's interesting you mentioned that as that's an Asperger characteristic. It VERY much describes one of my sons. He can occasionally give me a firm (but fairly brief) hug but flinches at any other touch. He was cuddly as a baby & toddler only for nursing or when he was frightened or needed consoling.
I'm not saying you have Asperger syndrome but you do seem to have some Asperger traits. (Remember our converstaion about it a while back.) Because of my son, I can totally understand it in others & never take it as a sign of unfriendliness or being aloof as some do.
And your generous Mom! New clothes for the Goodwill stores - a considerate solution on your part.
