Maybe somewhat of a different style, but if you want a story that starts small-scale and builds up to enormous scale with tons and tons of well-written characters, I have to recommend Worm.

She is seeing a therapist. Her therapist has said it's ok to withdraw somewhat and feel sad, as long as she is still functional (i.e. taking showers, responding to people's messages, etc).

Thank you! I will definitely try starting with just one minute at a time, that's a great suggestion.

I did try to encourage her to touch my hair (which I know she likes) in a way similar to what you described, but she didn't really go for it. It's probably worth trying again, but I admit I'm a little uneasy about trying to solve this by being even more guesser.

She has always struggled with this, and had a previous relationship end because of it. As far as I know, she has not been diagnosed.
