Guy's Behavior

Are men just naturally touchy, feely people?

I'm unsure because I grew up in a town were people weren't friendly, most people were not kind to me growing up because I was seen as different especially boys. I was always bullied by boys and in adulthood I was seen as abit of a joke and not taken seriously or respected by men in my home town because of this I was kinda scared of men and avoided interactions with them until I had to start working with them more and then eventually I met my future husband to be and I realised I had nothing to be scared of.

I moved to his home town 3 years ago and everyone is the total opposite from mu home town. People are so kind and friendly towards each other and it wasn't long until I made some good friends with people who accepted me for me.

I'm probably one of the most popular people at my work which is crazy looking back to how I was treated back home. Everyone greets me as soon as I walk through the door and this company isn't small there's around 300 people on pre shift alone and most people know me and like me.

I have to do a talk every Monday to new starters talking about my workplace. This is a girl who used to vomit at just the idea of public speaking. I'm so proud of myself and so happy I've found my people were I feel loved and accepted for simply being myself.

The only thing is I this struggle to trust people and let people be close to me. I still put up my defence walls subconsciously.

a lot of men at my work hug, high five, fist bump me when i come into work. I even have men putting there arm around me and touching my lower back. I have no idea if this is them just trying to get feel without looking like a creep or it's them being genuine as I'm not a touchy person myself especially with colleagues.

I get male strangers come to talk to me out in the street and I sometimes get scared and think "oh god what do they want " but most are just being friendly
