Are you comfortable with public displays of affection?

[Kud]

Affection doesn't bother me, but when the people start getting to into it, it kinda puts me off.

 

[Engarde]

I hold firmly to the belief that individuals who carry disdain for Public Displays of Affection (PDA) do so because of their own insecurities or discomforts.

I myself am in the midst of a long-term relationship and have no qualms displaying my affection in public.

Hah, that about sums it up. Me, not a fan. Me, insecure. Coincidence? I think not!

Oddly enough, PDA bothers me more when it's people I know rather than strangers. If I see couples I know all over each other I find it really annoying, but if it's two strangers I don't bat an eyelash.

As long as they are not particularly egregious. No screwing on the bus plox, kthx.

Yes and no. It's hard for me to explain, because I can really be like two completely different people sometimes, largely to do with my hyperactivity and being medicated for it. Sometimes, I'm a really private person, who wouldn't even be comfortable hugging a friend in public, and, other times, I'm a really energetic and affectionate person who just wants to cuddle and doesn't care what anybody else thinks.

Those two different states of mind apply to other people as well. When I'm in my reserved state, I'll probably feel pretty weirded out being around an affectionate couple. When I'm in my hyperactive state, I'll probably laugh and tease them about it or ask if I can join in.
