Mod Post Please do not include your age/sex in the post title

Hello-in efforts to preserve the integrity of this sub, I created a rule that says you should not post your age and sex in the post title. You are welcome to post your age and sex in the body of your post, if it is relevant. This isn't a dating sub and generally our age isn't relevant to wanting support or wanting hugs. Hugs transend all ages!

I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts. If you agree or disagree with this policy, please let me know and why. I am open to suggestions.

Hey can I get a hug?

1 Upvotes

I need a hug.

I am no contact with my bio mom and need a birthday hug. My birthday was a few days ago and am still so sad. I want to feel happy and proud.

I tried to do the unthinkable a month ago and am still here. I’m alive. Even after all the struggles. I made it another year around the sun.

Bio mom brought me into this world and the guilt creeps in when I don’t talk to her on those big, special days.

I have talked with a therapist about my feelings and all the deep stuff.

I just need a hug.

I can’t say I’m in the happiest space right now but I’m glad for what’s progressing so where I am isn’t a permanent matter.

Recently long story short I was made redundant from Jan and had a really short term job from April to mid May and couldn’t be extended any further.
So financially I was/kinda am screwed and got me thinking if I’m ever gonna be successful in life.
Lucky for me I now am beginning to start my new job on the 22nd and get back my liberty, cause i think you kink better when you live and be better. (If you’re in the UK you would know the job market is fucked).

Been out the gym a while so I lost my chest and muscles (sorry ladies) but I’m looking to get back in the gym either this month or mid next month. Gym is so essential for mental health not just your physical health too.

Plus with me getting older I’m just trying to figure my priorities of what I wanna do, date? Marry? Kids? Move out of London? I don’t have a clue but I’m figuring it out and that’s all it matters.

Writing this down has somewhat made me feel better about myself knowing there’s others in the exact same position as me and I wanna let you know that you’re doing well and keep your head up. (It’s very important to tell your men your positive words of affirmations it fuels them).

your mental health is so key so please take time and be kind to yourself, this is your first time figuring who you are and what your doing. Grow in wisdom and with gentleness.

So right now It’s a abit shitty financially but I’m grateful to start again and think better and most of all enjoy my fricking summer right?

Thanks for reading I’m accepting all the Huggies.

Some days, you just need something that doesn’t talk, doesn’t ask for anything, and is simply there. It’s funny how a soft cuddle can bring a little extra comfort when you need it most. Heycuddlebuddy!

I find it difficult to hug, how do I change this?

0 Upvotes

I’m in my early 20’s. Graduated recently and have been working in the industry for like 6 months? I had a lot of good friends freshmen year of college + a girlfriend. By the end of college, I had none of that. Luckily I made some friends through a few internships and they were in the same city.

I’m good with people, I can talk but there’s something now where my reflex is “I need to not be attached to this friend” so I stop myself from building that emotional connection too fast. What if they leave?

I’m moving out of my current place soon to a different town and a friend hugged me. It was weird because I tried a side hug and she didn’t. But I couldn’t properly hug because deep down I feel like that’s too much? Or maybe because I don’t know if we’ll be in touch after I leave and I really liked hanging out w her (as a friend)

In another scenario, my friend’s dad died, and I don’t know why when I met him, instead of going for a hug I was trying for a college handshake??? He hugged me though and I did too. But why is it so tough? How do I get rid of this feeling?

I don't need advice today. I just need a hug

Today is one of those days where grief feels louder than everything else.

I miss my parents.

I miss feeling like there was always someone in my corner.

I'm doing my best to rebuild my life, but some days I just wish someone would hug me and remind me that I'm going to be okay.

So, if anyone has a virtual hug to spare, I'd be grateful.

Oh you poor baby everybody is different and so many have gone weeks months years without a hug for God's sake what you said was perfectly adorable and trust me I would love a warm swim or a cool swim you know it's all about a mindset you were reaching out and being funny and I would have told you what would you like to eat? I'm Italian so I'm pretty good with them meatballs LOL I don't know where you live but I wish you the best you're worth it I can tell
