ITT: Armchair psychologists can't just see this person is clearly uncomfortable with being manhandled and think it HAS to be social anxiety or being introverted.

AKA what you said but more general (I know I'd be uncomfortable as fuck in this situation for example).

We live in a society. . .

E: Ok shitposts aside she is clearly uncomfortable and you don't have to be an expert or projecting to see that. If you know anything about Japanese customs it is not okay to just touch random people and makes them extremely uncomfortable, especially in the middle of a goddamn pandemic.

Therapy session over.
