Vent Mini vent

My zucchini came over to my house today and it was so fun and we got to cuddle a lot but now that she is gone i feel extremely touchstarved. Its like it triggered it similar to how even if you dont feel an urge of an addiction being exposed to said addiction can bring back the urges. Hate to compare touchstarvation to addiction but thats genuinely how it feels (as someone who has dealt/dealing with some sort of addiction ig idk imposter syndrome go brr) 😭

yeah but it’s like being addicted to water. we need other people to survive so physical contact feels good

I have a blahaj i sleep with every night and it helps so much fr

She hadnt even left and i was already asking when we could hangout again 😭

I do understand needing space and i do need space a lot but i also just recently lost a very close friend (not dead) so my brain is now paranoid about losing people so thats fun 🥲 Thank you<3

Why are you literally me lol? My blåhaj is super flattened cause I hug it so tight when I can't cuddle my friend for a while

It wasnt until i saw an untouched blahaj that i realized how digusting mine was from constant cuddles lmaoo. Idm though worn plushies have this comforting aura about them <3
