No touchy-touchy then.
Does that mean I have no tactile senses or am I banned from touching the physical world as a ghost would be? Perception from a distance and communication with others is still too important. Tactile stuff is more egoistic and kind of something I can imagine I would be able to adapt to although that would change my behavior greatly.
In any case, such disabilities make you dependent on others. But living in civilization, I would stick to communicative stuff.
Were it a lone-wolf survival situation, though, I'd rather be manipulating thingies. I'd want my handses out of my pocketses. Manipulating thingies without the sense of touch — same as in computer games which include exploring the environment. Nothing tactile in the virtual world, yet, anyway. And we're kind of more used to it than we know, perhaps.
Tactile means skin, too, not just fingertips. I wouldn't know if I'm cold or hot, sunburned or wet, wind-beaten, etc...until too late and consequences come to the entire body. Sucks...
Banned from touching anything at all, though, then I'd not want that were i on my own more often than not. Hearing would have to go. Same as being in those games with speakers turned off, no? Beasties get you easier from the behinds but still...
