Re: Vent thread!
(Anonymous) 2021-03-23 11:24 pm (UTC)(link)I think I am literally touch starved. I am usually very touch-averse, even to a pathological degree, and have always been shy and avoidant so being touched in any basic way is often "too much" for me.
But in the past 9 months the only gentle touch I felt was... well, actually none. (I did pet the stray cat so, maybe that.) Maybe this is excessive even for me. Everyone from my family who could've hugged me on the rare occasion has already passed away and I only have 2 friends whom I haven't seen irl since before the pandemic. I hypothetized this because I've been sickly and feverish and that makes me want to cuddle in my blankets so bad, so I "oh"d. Too bad for me I guess because... I hate being touched by just anyone, but other than "just anyone" there is no one, so. Cool. Haha (No).
The bright side of things is that I am inspired to write fic involving my touch-averse boys. Yay?

(Anonymous) 2021-03-23 11:32 pm (UTC)(link)Been there, anon, and it sucks.
It's no replacement, but I find a modicum of comfort in wearing very soft wraparound sweaters, far-too-long hot showers, and talking to my houseplants.

(Anonymous) 2021-03-23 11:54 pm (UTC)(link)Yeah, I've always liked soft blankets and fabrics and such. I am living... in a rough condition now, hopefully not for long but, still, I don't have many of those so maybe my body IS missing that, too. (Also, unfortunately I've always been a great plant murderer sigh)
Thanks for the tip and I hope you are feeling better as well!

(Anonymous) 2021-03-24 12:56 pm (UTC)(link)But I've figured out something about myself. Most people assume I don't like hugs or being touched and it's not true. I just don't trust touch from people I don't trust or people I feel I can't fully trust. Of course, having a "medical" purpose for the touch makes me feel a little safer about it too.
