This question is purely me just wanting to understand as both a touch starved person and someone whos love languageis touch. When I was little (around 6 or 7 years old) (in 2007) touch was an unspoken thing everyone did and if someone had a problem with being touched, then we didn't touch them, fair simple, and I would see people hugging, people having their arms around eachother casually, shoulder smaking, fist bumping, etc and it wasn't just guys, it was girls as well (and i assume non binary, as well, im not sure since this is before i even knew the LGBT community existed), it wasn't such a problematic thing. A few years went by and I was about to finish highschool (2018 to 2019) and I started noticing people asking permission to hug someone and I didn't think anything of it, and I started implementing it, but then it got more and more common, and my brain was like "ok people dont like being touched as much anymore" and I respected it (and I still respect it) and then after I got out of highschool I moved to Australia for a year but I didn't get out much, so when I came back home, it was a massive culture shock for me cause now people needed permission to touch in any sort of way and while I still respect it, it's starting to get to me, especially as someone who's love language is touch, and I do understand that a lot of people don't wanna be touched due to trauma, neurodivergency, physical/sexual abuse, that's completely understandable, hell if you don't wanna be touched just cause you don't wanna be touched, that's completely understandable to, it's just hard, and I wanna know if its a Gen Z thing, or if there is something I'm missing, or can someone give me an explanation??
