Is it normal to not like cuddling?

Yep.Totally normal

Yes. Some people love cuddling, and others find it uncomfortable, distracting, or simply not enjoyable; it doesn’t mean you care any less about someone.

Absolutely. People vary a lot in how much touch they enjoy, and cuddling can feel too warm, restrictive, or overstimulating—or just not be your thing. You don’t need a special reason to prefer more personal space.

You can still be affectionate in other ways, like holding hands, sitting close, or saying what you appreciate about someone. If you have a partner, a simple “I like being close, but cuddling isn’t comfortable for me” can help you find a version of affection that works for both of you.
