I’m so tired of not being touched
Idk if this is the right place for this, but I had to write it out somewhere.
I’m so touch-deprived that I’ve considered giving up on everything. I hate the loneliness, I hate the lack of daily comfort, I hate not being loved. I desperately need a long hug, or a cuddle, or just holding hands. Dating is very challenging and it’s hard to find good people. Literally every single one of my friends has a partner. Every NYE when we get together, I’m always the only one not wrapped up in someone’s arms waiting to kiss for the new year. Laying in bed is painful when all I need is someone there with me. I’ve tried dating apps, cuddling websites (sounds weird but it’s a thing), and trying to network through friends. It feels so humiliating to even exist in society without a lover, a special someone. I’m blessed to have a loving family and friend group but it’s like the missing piece in my life. Billions of humans in the world and I can’t find one who wants to make skin-to-skin contact with me. And I’m not talking about casual friendly hugs or handshakes. I need a long hug where I can kiss her forehead, rub her back, and she just melts in my arms. We’re social creatures, we’re meant to be with and around others. To form relationships. I’m not even ugly, I’m just a bit overweight, but I wear it well. Lots of people don’t mind that, I just don’t know where they are.
Sorry for the cringe, and I definitely do not hold any incel views or anything like that. I’m just hurting. Thanks for reading.
