Selective

Part of the Boundaries Wheel

What is Selective?

A clear sense of who has permission to touch you and in what ways. Hugs from friends feel different than handshakes from strangers. Selectivity honors both intimacy levels and personal comfort.

When you might feel selective

Selective is a specific form of touch, which itself is a type of physical. You might experience this feeling in situations where physical is present, particularly when the circumstances align with the nuances that define selective.
