My cousin and littlest sister keep touching me even after almost crying in front of them about it? And my dad made fun of me once about my fear. People get really uncomfy about things and not respecting those boundaries is really shitty

My cousin just used the fact that I hate people touching me is weird, and touched me to prove it. Out of just a reaction I jumped back and kind of hissed in a way, and he just laughed like "see? Weird"

But same with other fears and discomforts. I wanted to post this because I mean I think it's important.

Yeah! Disrespecting them only makes the fear worse
