Ashamed

Dear Stranger,

What are you most ashamed of in yourself?

Honestly, there are a lot of things about myself that I am ashamed of. I’m ashamed that I can’t express how I feel without feeling uncomfortable. I am constantly told that I should show more love, but I just can’t directly do it, not even to my family. I try, but it makes me extremely uncomfortable. I don’t know if ashamed is the right word for this, but I am ashamed that I don’t like being touched. Mainly because the people around me are big on physical touch; they like to hug and be touchy, but I don’t, and they can’t stand it. They think I’m being like that because I’m trying to be edgy or something along those lines, but I honestly don’t like being touched by most people. I am ashamed of that because It makes me feel bad. I can’t control it.
