Am I the only one who doesn't like massages?

alicatt79 · December 2009

I've gotten 2 massages in my life and they bug me. I'm not really a prude, but I guess I just don't like strangers touching me. Same for facials. I couldn't relax at all. I always wonder if other people feel the same when I see recommendations for spa GC's. I'd be all skeeved out if I got another one.

Sometimes I think I am the only one who hasn't had a massage.

I have a total complex about making small talk. I hate not knowing if I'm supposed to be chatty, if I'm supposed to be quiet, trying to make polite small conversation. I think its a big part of why I don't like mani/pedi/massages. Unless I'm with someone that I can talk to during a mani/pedi I don't get them.

I hate them, they always hurt!!! And I hate the word massage.

I fall asleep on the table. Every time. I'm a non-talking variety of massage receiver.

I've never had a massage but I'm sure I wouldn't be able to relax. All I would be thinking about is my back fat. I've had a few facials - they are only relaxing up to the point to where they squeeze all the gunk out of your pores.

all of which i did not enjoy so much. like you said, i dont like people rubbing me unless they are my husband.

I love them but am particular about the amount of pressure. I don't like deep tissue massages, I'm a wuss. But I always feel amazing after.

For pp's who mentioned not knowing what to talk about and issues with someone touching you - you don't have to talk. I never do, otherwise I wouldn't be able to relax. And you're always covered with a towel. The only part exposed is whatever part they're working on. So if you have an issue with a part of your body, you can tell them to stay away from it.

LMAO at the thought of actually talking during a massage. How unrelaxing- do people actually do that and why???

I have no body issues and no stranger issues, especially when I'm paying them. Most don't do it hard enough so I tell them ahead of time I like a strong massage. I don't do facials- don't need them and have the kind of skin that wouldn't look normal afterward if someone picked at me.

My mum never liked massages- anyone- including my dad touching her in that way. . I always thought that was bizarre. Her perception of massage was of pain.

I had 1 massage and it was the biggest waste of $100 ever. I couldn't relax At.All. And it wasn't even that the masseuse did a bad job, because another girl in my party had her too and loved it. I have no idea what my problem is. lol I couldn't enjoy it at all.

I was just telling dh what a weirdo I am for not liking massages. I just can't relax, I lay there thinking about all of the things I should be doing.

I enjoy massages, but I DO NOT like a mani or pedi. I don't like people touching my hands at all. When I had a pedi on my honeymoon, when she started filing my toenails I thought I was going to die. Worst sensation EVER!

Ahhh what I wouldn't do right now for ALL OF THE ABOVE!

Massage...facial....pedicure.....
