I wish I didn't have to say this, but this is your reminder that no means no. Always. Consent is voluntary, and can be revoked at any time. Just because someone let you do something to them once doesn't grant you permission to do that thing forever. If a person let you do something to them, but then later told you to stop doing that to them, you stop. Immediately. If someone said you could do x thing to them anytime, but then, for some reason, told you no, you pull back, you stop, and you wait for when, or if, they consent again. Consent doesn't exclusively apply to sex. This applies to any form of touching, verbal interactions, or emotional interactions where someone's boundaries could be violated. No is a full sentence. Respect it, honor it, and to anyone out there who's reading this, use it. Never, ever feel afraid to say no. Anyone who's not respecting you saying no is frankly a boundary abusing asshole, and doesn't deserve your attention. Take care of yourselves and respect each other out there.

@JesseF8693 Ehh. I think I'm fine now, a person at my birthday party just got incredibly nasty tonight because I wouldn't hug them. Typical of this person, but it doesn't make it any less infuriating

@Kaliah @JesseF8693 Why are people so gross about hugging! There are people whom I love that really enjoy hugging and I will hug them because I love them and I know this is a way that they feel like they connect with people. It is never something I do for my own benefit.. there's people who want to hug you and then who get all bent out of shape and who don't respect your boundaries! I hate that shit. And then they act like you are the asshole!

@Pawpower @JesseF8693 My thing is that I hug on my terms, and nobody else's. Hugging in general makes me uncomfortable, and while yes, I understand some people connect with others that way, I'm given a choice to prioritize a connection or my own comfort. Of course, I will choose my comfort.
