JM :
When you have an avoidant husband who never do any of these things and you feel you are single without being single... don't have even the freedom to go after someone else...

I always say I want a man hug đ You described it perfectly, donât want platonic touch but donât want it to be sexual either. My weighted blanket and taking a hot bath helps sometimes but other times, it leaves me feeling even more touch deprived.

you aren't alone. I was on a first date tattoo. she was touching my arm while examining my tattoo (I have a very detailed cohesive color full sleeve) and that was just bliss.

Youâre not a loser; youâre a human. Go easy on yourself, itâs hard being a human some times.

I so badly miss the warmth and comfort in a hug from a lover. This world is so cold, even colder without arms to secure me

Touch deprivation is one thing but itâs more like intimacy/trust, comfort/cuddling deprivation. Itâs being held long enough to sigh and allow yourself to melt into another person. Correct me if I am wrong.

Having a snuggly dog is great. Is it the same? Not quite. But having a dog that thinks youâre the greatest thing in the world and just wants to be with you. Thatâs pretty great too.

Needing others and wanting connection is not a flaw / weakness and doesnât make you a loserâĻ Iâm alone too and touch deprived and that doesnât make me a loser

An older woman I worked with lost her husband of 40+ years and she said one of the hardest things was that no one touches you. The loss of that little intimacy. No hugs, no hand holding, etc and that broke me

My love language is physical touch so I feel this big time. A small dog or a cat tha will sleep by you honestly helps so much
