That sounds just like me, Iso. I don't get brushed against, even in crowds, very often. My husband says I carry around a force shield that enforces my personal space and I tend to believe him. I've seen my son with that force shield sometimes, although he seems to be outgrowing it.
I'm very sensitive to touch, and especially don't like very light touches or moving touches. I love to cuddle with my dogs, or being held firmly and gently. I'm not at all ticklish, but those light "tickly" touches are interpreted as painful by my brain.
I finally just got sick of having a closet full of clothes that I rarely wear, and regret wearing when I do. And my mom loves to give me the sort of clothes she wears, which are frequently scratchy. It does no good to object, so I thank her very politely and consider that her gift to me is a donation to Goodwill, which is a perfectly nice gift. :)
