:/ My whole family thinks that things like that is inappropriate, even if it's not a sex thing, I just like snuggling and being held, I'm a tactile person, but usually I'd get it from my friends... now though my only friend who was comfortable with me snuggling him and using him like a cuddle bear...I haven't seen him in forever and I miss that easy intimacy, that familiarity and the comfort because now I literally have no one to share that with, the only person who's willing is my girlfriend but she's approximately 2,000 miles away so I just feel starved for physical affection

Well screw your family. (Pls not literally) If you miss that friend,why not try contacting him? Ask him to hang out or something? As for your gf,I'm sorry about that. Hopefully you two can hang out soon.

I have tried. I've been trying to get a hold of him for over a month now but he doesn't answer my texts or calls, and he moved away from the house up the street from me where he used to live...god I miss him so much.

I'm so sorry frisky..okay stupid question time..why not try to make new friends? Or try to discuss friendly cuddles with your current friends and convince them to try it?

I have one friend, honestly, that I would feel comfortable asking her to cuddle. But while accepting of my sexuality, she is...uncomfortable with that sort of thing. Not just with me--she's just not a tactile person, she likes her space. And making new friends...I don't know. It sounds so stupid, but it takes me a while to build up the sort of bond and connection to where I want that sort of contact and feel comfortable asking for it.

Ah,I see. Well not everyone's tactile and that's okay..let's not bug that girl.. And it's okay if you take time to form that sort of connection. But later is better than never,right?

Yeah, I guess. I just feel kind of....starved for affection recently.

I understand. For the time being,here's an idea: get a heating pad and place it under a pillow. Wait until it gets to a human-like temperature,then cuddle the pillow. It will probably also help if you close your eyes and imagine you're cuddling a human.

That sounds nice...I'll try that. Thanks rwby.

No problem Frisky. If you need anything,don't hesitate to ask me,alright? :)

Will keep that in mind. Honestly my emotional state has deteriorated to such a point that I willingly booked an appointment with my old therapist tomorrow.

That's good. Best of luck to you!

I yearn for the things life being cuddled, gently kissed, tenderly loved, heck even just being in a silent room with them. but i wouldn't want it from friends or family, instead from a girlfriend. The problem with that is I'm unattractive and their aren't any females that have a mutual crush on me.

Umm yess i do feel the need for all that
I want to know what it feels like

Those are called best friends

What's that fifth word you typed over there

Potato?

No it wasn't potato

that would be easy if there were people that liked me for me. and who i will be. and not for what ive done

i know what you mean. just a desire to feel wanted and loved non-romantically. I also have a weird thing where I am like addicted to falling hard in love even if it isn't completely reciprocated. It doesn't even happen that often but i still long for it all the time. I'm probablly just weird
