personal space

i am reminded pretty frequently of my personal space issues. the truth is, it hadnt always been that way. before people realized that i was insanely ticklish, they didnt bother me. once someone does, however, && especially if its a guy, they will totally abuse that knowledge. the problem with this is that most of the time when i'm trying desperately to get away from someone && like thrashing around, i will get hurt [who knew?]. consequently, i really dont like people close if its not by my choosing. but i love my friends && i give them hugs like no other.

this problem comes into play when people question my ability to be in a loving relationship. i get it: i'm 16 && probably too young to be involved with the dating scene at all. but it really hurts that that will be questioned by the people i love so much: my friends.

i obviously can't say this to anyone insinuated in person because there is no 'nice' way to say it.. but i don't have space issues if i really like someone in any romantic sense.
