I really wish I could be held or cuddled by a friend.

Hello.

I'm just kinda venting honestly.

I can barely even get something as simple as a hug from friends or family throughout the past year. It's been a real struggle for me dealing with loneliness and I want to make up for all that time I lacked physical touch.

I don't know, is it weird to ask a friend for a cuddle and nothing else? I really do hope this isn't weird for me to say here.

@Kaplan12025 Sorry for the second post guys. That was an accident. My computer wasn't cooperating with me.

Hello, I completely understand what you mean. I'm not particularly physically expressive with my loved ones but I feel very safe and happy whenever I receive or give affection. But at the same time, I worry about trespassing physical boundaries and making the other person uncomfortable or awkward, so I don't try. But honestly, we don't have anything to lose and I feel like this is an obstacle you will surpass with time and patience with yourself. Good luck with your future endeavours 😊

@PeacefulDreamer0606 I entirely understand what you mean by respecting boundaries. I understand it's not for everyone. It doesn't hurt to ask anyway though just in case, doesn't it?

You're absolutely right, it is a simple solution to just ask the other person 😊
