on the other hand...
i'm pretty private with my personal space... i am just fine with anyone i know touching me, hugging me, smacking me around, or whatever, but when that strange hand touches me, it gets real cold real quick. i do not like to be touched by people i don't know. if the situation warrants it (someone trying to get by at the club, etc...) i let it go, but if it's blatant and unneeded, i get confrontational...
so am i right or wrong in doing these things? dunno. i'm just me with my own quirks.

well, that's about what sums it up for me. There's a good amount of "depends on the situation" because I live in the New York City metropolitan area. No one touches anyone, even a brush up can cause someone to just go off.
When I wake up, take the train, and then walk from Penn Station to Times Square, I could have already passed by around 3,000 people. People that you overhear conversations, glimpse books, bills, private moments, music, artwork, and all the other mundane things from life.
