I'm still working on accepting affection after being raised in a home without affection. So if I push away a hug or a hand hold, it's a reflex and not because I want to deny it. (I use another word if it's an absolute no) If anything, I want them to pull me into a hug and force me to lean on them, because I'm so headstrong on handling things on my own that I need to be reminded that people are there for me (and physical touch is my top love language) But my reflexes have hurt partners' feelings/self esteem, even after communicating this to them. I know it's a problem I need to fix on my own. But it takes time and practice...

Practice is definitely key and so is awareness which you also have so I think it is excellent you have these strengths! In time I believe you will find someone who is able to listen and pull you in or help support you as you work to continue through your growth as a person. Stay the course! You got this!
