Feeling Lonely and Craving Affection

Get a cat. They're easy to take care of. I have one. It's helped a lot.

Get a pet

I feel like that as well sometimes I just want someone to hug me and say it'll be okay luckily for me I have my family who are supportive and I also have two cats who I enjoy cuddling and playing with 😊

I've spent many nights alone feeling lonely to the point where I'd just talk to myself so at least I had someone to talk to per se

I get it all the time. My family doesn't believe I have PTSD or panic attacks. I had a weighted blanket for a while. It helped, but it was going to cost a fortune to get it cleaned (I'm a big guy)

Omg I've felt like that before what does one call that but I can't use weight stuff I be feeling claustrophobic etc.

Totally get it. I pat and cuddle my cats.

I totally get it, out of the handfull of people I know there's only maybe one person I feel somewhat safe to give and especially receive affection, (receiving is the hard part for me personally), and their not always around, one thing that has helped me is useing weighted things such as blankets, plushes as it helps me get used to more human like hugs/cuddles, I also set more boundaries with the people I do know on what I am/am not comfortable with and then depending on how it goes I get get more used to the person and feel more safe with them, that's all I've learned about myself so far, I hope it helps and I hope you figure more out! ♡
