even explaining doesn't help.
Had that situation on saturday. I had a befriended couple over to visit me in my new house.
They both know about my PCS and my hugging anxiety. She came over with a plant and I told her again, that I hope she does not expect a hug.

She started laughing and said that she does. I explained again why I don't want hugs and that my anxiety sets in just thinking about it. She was offended and said that with telling people all my friends would not want to be friends anymore.

I told her to feel free to leave my house.....
