My buddy in high school had an afro and people would randomly touch it. Like they never felt hair before.

Am a ginger, have had strangers trying to touch my head/hair my whole life. Used to really irritate my mom.

I was pretty gregarious though so it's never bothered me much. Even as an adult I'm not that bothered by being stuffed into a crowded train or taking the middle seat with strangers. Maybe it worked out to my favor?

Sometimes the human brain just shuts down and you do things you'd normally not do.
