when will I get over this dumb feeling

growing up I loved hugs and touching people so much. now I feel like I have to hate it and idk why. I love it deep down but im just afraid to receive it. that's why it's so hard to be in a relationship. I've never been in one and I'm afraid if I get In none and don't want to be physical they will dump me. I need to know how to get over this fear of affection but I don't know where to start or if I should try to get over it at all.

Did something happen that makes you not like being hugged anymore? I love hugs I can't imagine not wanting them.

@oogirl tbh idk what happened. maybe its cause my family told me for years to stop being so affectionate when I was a kid so I stopped and told myself it was weird.
