Are you “touch starved”?

[octoberbabe]

Do you get enough physical contact with other humans?

Have you ever felt touch-starved in the past? What did you do to cope?

Yes I feel like I don’t experience enough touch in daily life and am “starved” for it.

No I feel like I get enough physical touch with other humans.

I’m not sure what touch deprivation is or if I am “touch starved.”

I am very physical when expressing my feelings. I like to hold hands, kiss, give little massages so I guess I need more than your average dose of physical contact to get to where I feel satisfied. On the upside it means long love sessions!

I'm really touch starved since I've never had a boyfriend at all, so I bought myself plushies to cuddle with

[octoberbabe]

You don’t have to be touch starved just because you don’t have a boyfriend. Sometimes friends can work too.

[octoberbabe]

Stuffed plushies are good too though 😊

I hug my friends from time to time, but it's not really the same as hand holding and stuff. I'm just really starving for that romantic touch

[octoberbabe]

Yeah that makes sense I feel the same. A quick hug with a friend just doesn’t do it. I read it takes 20 seconds of touch to feel it kicking in.

I went for a message and almost felt like crying because it was so nice to be touched by someone.

[octoberbabe]

Yeah I’ve felt that way before too

I'm dying of touch starvation. Needing to touch and be touched is completely unavoidable. I'm so confused. It really does seem like an army of girls have all gotten together to conspire against me. Finding someone has become more important than eating at this point. I don't deserve to be so alone and miserable. I can't believe there isn't a single female in the entire motherfucking world that would want to be around me. So I relentlessly attack dating sites like the plague and come up empty every single time. I have sent masterpieces in message form to a bunch of ungrateful whores... lol, sorry not sorry. b****** be tripping but I believe b****** need to be learning how to read.

If mean sexually. I j/o. It helps for the moment but eventually i get lonely again. Only at night before bed tho. But during day n stuff just going out n talking to chicks or seeing them helps for a bit. Its like cabin fever. But in a sexual sense if im say at a bar and see a chick in a skirt if i can get a peak up it while she's sitting il try. Single life sucks sometimes. But if u mean touch starved as in just touching people then no i dont

[Gatman34]

Nope I’m good I’m not a desperate man and I don’t like being touched

Only if you are trying to fall in love you wouldn’t normally give a $hit otherwise. It be for their benefit. Oh well.

It’s because once you wait too long the door is only temporarily open. Once you wait too long you just won’t ever like them. You are trying to have that not happen. Guess it’s just destiny if you don’t. Oh well at least I’d know it’s not lack of effort on my part. And no I’m not desperate I don’t really give a shit either way. I can go without them. Maybe that’s best.

I know a lot of guy girl friend relationships that they have movie nights and cuddle up to each other. Sometimes it has nothing to do with sex. A lot of my player guy friends don't have a consistent girl in their life and sometimes like to be a little closer to someone without having sex and we will snuggle up side by side holding hands or with his arm around me and just talk and watch movies or shows.

[Opinion Owner]

That's nice I don't really care about nasty slutty people personally.

[octoberbabe]

Lind I agree with you. Don’t bother w this person. So rude...

[Opinion Owner]

I don't give a shit fu..

[Opinion Owner]

Good I'd be glad. Stay the f away from me.. I agree..

[Opinion Owner]

I hate dirty fcking prostitutes like you.. Get over it..

[lind2298]

Yeah that's right I'm a street walking prostitute. How'd you know? Wait are you that guy that comes every of Thursday but doesn't ever wanna actually have sex just wants to lay his head in my lap and cry about that's the only way he can even get a womans attention? I thought I recognized you!

[lind2298]

Plus every think said it that post is SO SLUTTY it will probably be deemed too much and taken down! You're pathetic and everyone can see it. You feel the need to put me down because I am a good friend and am supportive of them? Fine by me. Even if I was a slut who the hell are you to judge? This place is meant to be a place to receive genuine advice or opinions. I don't believe anyone asked you if you thought I was a slut or not so your mouth gets points for just running trash out of it. Although I doubt much else ever comes out. Thanks for caring enough multiple times to respond though! Have an awesome day!

[lind2298]

Your mouth doesn't get points* (don't want you getting too confused)

[Opinion Owner]

Yeah that's nice I don't really give a shit about what your crowd thinks and never did. I never liked your filthy ugly slutty crowd. Oh well..

[lind2298]

If you agreed about me staying away why do you keep coming back sad little troll?

[Bluemax]

Very much so.

[theCobbler]

Yes, all the time, ! I hire escorts!
