I honestly could not answer (and still cannot). I was once asked when was the last time I hugged my mother. It was so unusual, as we never exhibited physical forms of affection, that I still remember it. I still recall a few months before my father died, he came into the kitchen one morning and put his hand my shoulder while I was sitting down. Hugging is very disruptive to me and I almost have to grit my teeth at family gatherings when everyone is hugging each other. Now I myself have a very hard time with any physical contact. Growing up, my family was not very touchy so I eventually got to the point where touching was more 'abnormal' than normal for me.
