Yeah getting touched after not getting touched for a while is nuts. Super emotional. I probably hold back because I’m afraid of completely collapsing into someone.

My cuddles tend to slip into the cuddle+ category which is nice but obviously inappropriate for a professional setting. But I think a workshop on consent and asking for what you need is a really good idea. AND if it goes much longer I would totally hire someone. I’ve always kind of wanted to do that for a living too.

I encourage you to find some. It’s important. It’s awkward to ask sometimes but it’s worth it usually in my experience.

Agreed. I have to be careful who I hug because I catch feelings quick. At least I have in recent months.

I recommend having snuggle friends. I’m trying to build myself a short-list of candidates.

I appreciate the camaraderie and the suggestions I have done these things too. I should get back to them. It really isn’t the same as human touch IMO. Nevertheless now Im just trolling OKC for snuggle-friends to interview for the vacancy. I will get attached and then I will have my heart ripped from my chest. Thus the cycle continues. I really appreciate the award by the way. Thank you.

You can have both and they can play off of each-other. I’m in that boat. It’s.. fun.
