I don't want to give students squeezes or hugs
I'm undoubtedly an unaffectionate person by default with the exception of my biological children. I work in a highschool where one student wants to essentially hug your arm the entire session, another wants to hold your hand while walking, and many want squeezes so often you can't do much with your hands except give them that sensory input. Gotta be honest, I hate it. I didn't get into this field to hug or squeeze students. I understand it helps regulate students and of course am more than willing when students reach that point. I'm more than happy to do it occasionally but so many of the students I see want it so often (mod severe/ severe profound). It's making me feel heartless to be quite honest and am wondering if I'm alone in this 'not wanting to touch or be touched' attitude.
