2 . There are few things more comforting than a hug. It’s a gesture that makes you feel loved, supported, and safe.    1    In fact, for some, even a simple touch on the shoulder can cause them great discomfort. In the event that this is a person close to you, you may have even felt rejected by their attitude. Knowing the reasons behind their behavior will help you understand them. Let’s take a look at some of the possible causes.

    2    

A study has discovered that the degree to which we show physical affection and are comfortable with it depends on how we were raised.    3    However,as a matter of fact, some people who grew up with a lack of physical affection may later try to makeup for it. They’re the ones who always take the initiative and kiss and hug those close to them.

Low self-esteem and insecurity

    4    In fact, it’s been proven that the most insecure people generally feel threatened by being close to others. By marking and keeping their distance, they feel more in control of the situation. In fact, it means they avoid feeling vulnerable. Furthermore, they feel like it saves them from rejection or an emotional bond that’s too intimate.

Trauma (创伤)and abuse

Lastly, if individuals suffered physical abuse in their past, it is highly likely that they may reject any forms of physicaI contact. This rejection is often a result of the deep-seated fear and distrust that has developed within them due to their previous experiences. Indeed,traumatic events and negative experiences, such as physical violence or abuse, can generate a great fear of establishing physical closeness with others    5    

A．Parenting style

B．Fears and panic

C．However, not everyone experiences these pleasant sensations.

D．Those who dislike physical contact may not have strong and healthy self-esteem.

E．For instance, growing up in a loving family encourages children to be open and caring.

F．They may avoid getting close to others due to a panic of dirt, or the spread of certain diseases.

G．Thus, they may adopt a defensive gesture, keeping others at a distance to avoid potential harm.

6 . Hello, everyone! I have read over fifteen interesting stories in the past few weeks. And many of them tell me what to do with the problems in my daily life. Now I’m sharing some of them with you.

Story 1

A boy once found a jar (罐子) full of nuts in his mother’s kitchen and he put his hand in to help himself get as many as he could. When he tried to take his hand out of the jar, however, he found that the opening was too narrow (狭窄的) for his fist (拳头) to pass through.

“What shall I do?’’ he cried. “My hand will be stuck (卡住) in this jar.” Just then his mother came in. “Really,” she said, “there’s nothing to make such a fuss (大惊小怪) about. Try taking half as many nuts as you have in your hand, and you’ll find your hand will come out of the jar quite easily.”

Story 2

A woman walks up to a little old man, rocking (摇动) in a chair on his porch (走廊).

“I couldn’t help noticing how happy you look,” she says. “What’s your secret for a long, happy life?”

“I smoke three packs a day, drink a case of whiskey (威士忌) a week, and never exercise.”
