I'm going to my first ever con in...6 weeks? 5? This really wasn't something I needed to hear about...
I've never really been big on being touched, probably because people have been doing it without permission my whole life. But I mean...there's a huge difference between tapping on a shoulder to get a person's attention and hugging a friend(even if it's an online or other-type-of-correspondence friend you're meeting in person for the first time) and just walking up and TOUCHING someone, or stroking a part of them.
