💛Intimacy Starts With You💛

Physical contact isn't something I can engage in with anyone.

My reality is this: My parents will have been gone for four (dad) and five (mom) years come 2021. All of my living blood relatives are a six hour drive away at the very least. It would take more than a day of nonstop driving to see my brother. My boy and his mother are only a forty-five minute drive away, but COVID-19 and her cancer treatments make seeing either of them a very risky venture.

Normal I would say women have the power. Even when I felt the most powerful, I know that due to not having upset too many women, that is how I've managed to stay alive as long as I have. As for what I crave, it would be such a concoction it would be unusual. A woman who is somewhat meek, but also isn't too timid. A woman who loves getting special risotto as much as breakfast at IHOP. A woman who enjoys the outdoors as much as being Netflix and chill. A woman who enjoys being a degenerate as much as being somewhat reserved. A woman who enjoys the Foo Fighters as much as they enjoy Taylor Swift. Yeah. Good luck for me trying to find that.

"Be what you crave" How can I be a packet of 1998 Mulan Szechuan McNugget dipping sauce?

Instructions unclear, too shy.

I can recognize that logically, but it doesn’t help that the only time I have felt intimacy is in a relationship, which sets an annoying precedent that tells me “this is the only situation you can have that.” It also doesn’t help that I’ve never been in the habit of being intimate with friends or family, further reinforcing that idea, which honestly doesn’t bother me too much, but the end result is ya boy is touch starved so 🧐

Perhaps they want you to find a place for yourself. If we want something we have to be willing to put in the effort and strive for it :)

So, I already said this on twitter but, I'll say it here for those that aren't on there. I'm not really close enough with anyone for hugs to feel enjoyable. I have an aversion to touch from people I don't know or am not close with. I know this is ok and it's also a personal boundary. I don't feel any shame in it and nor should anyone else. It's your body and you get the be all-end all say in who can touch you. However, I still love hugs and cuddles especially because they're comforting and cuddling helps me to fall asleep. So, I cuddle with my big plushie to supplement my desires for hugs and cuddles. It may seem childish to those that don't understand. But, since I don't know them, their opinion of what I do in my own home bares no weight with me. If you're in a similar situation to mine, I would suggest getting a good sized plushie. One that covers at least your torso when you hug it. It won't be quite the same but it helps.

I read the first part and thought to myself "Well I'm fucked." First you say to fuck people who judge you which I did as a joke with my friend. When I showed him I said please don't fuck me but he didn't say he wouldn't. Now touching starved homie you are giving him more of a reason to do so. Also I crave some pizza does that mean I should become pizza?

Relatable, everyone tells me just to go out more but they never recommend a place for a lone wolf to go other than a bar.

Hug my brother's pretty much every weekend we go play Disc Golf, mom gets a hug every chance I can give her one.

AunTea dropping truthbombs. Sometimes it's so dark it's hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel, but you need to realise you can be your OWN light.

I have no idea how but when this whole apocalypse thing is done I want to try getting a relationship.
