I was the first child in my parent's friend group, first kid in my generation for my family. I was hugged and kissed constantly. Didn't like it. Ever. No one ever cared that I didn't like it. It was funny to watch a baby, then a toddler and then a child bawl their eyes out and try to get away from grabby adults. Guess who is now 35 years old and still doesn't like people touching them? It's me.

Do you believe if you had been allowed to exercise more bodily autonomy that you would be more open to it now as an adult, or is it more a case of having a preference and keeping it through development?

Not that redditor but from other experiences I've read about, it depends. Some always stay the same in that they don't like/want it, some eventually are fine depending on the person and circumstance as long as it's within their bodily autonomy
