is there a function, or a type or something like that - that prevents one from wanting to touch another person? time and time again i see people casually touching each other at work. a shoulder, an arm, etc. i can't imagine wanting to touch anyone. but at times i would like to - as a consoling method or whatever.

i'm not sure what i would have to do, to actually touch someone. it's the same hesitation i get when i need to say something important to someone.

i'm actually not sure what i'm asking - does anyone else have this "problem"? i think it would make me appear more compassionate or caring if i could lend a soft touch to someone. but i just can't figure what's stopping me...
