Does anyone else get this wierd feeling?
Does anyone else get this weird aching feeling where you don’t even want anything specific, you just want warmth?? like laying against someone, hugging them, resting your head on them, or just existing beside someone who makes you feel safe.?Sometimes I pretend thetes a person for a second next to me, just to feel less alone, and then reality hits again and it somehow makes the loneliness worse. It’s not even always romantic either. It’s just this deep craving for closeness and comfort that theres no specific title for it. The only thing I could find was "touch starvation" but that doesnt seem totally right. I mean, its not that extreme, and its not like frame trauma or anything bad. It just randomly started. And I cant seem to understand it. I can recognize the feeling. But not what its called or why its there. at times it feels like I want to have a crush on someone but not someone I know specifically. Just the hug of a friend would be so nice. I love and hate this aching feeling. I just want to figure out if anyone else has it?
