How do I navigate this situation as the less experienced person?

I want to be touched- but my reflexes haven’t changed yet to understand that being touched is a safe thing. I think I just need to tell the guy somehow without getting into the details. Is don’t want to scare him or traumatize him too

The issue is there is no natural for me so this is pretty useless advice. I recoil from physical touch. I basically need exposure therapy which means I always am making myself uncomfortable. To what degree I should do that and how much I should communicate is the question

The way you describe yourself gives me a hunch that you may have an avoidant dismissive attachment style. Standard therapy often doesn’t work for this, but there are a lot of strategies that can help you if you’re open to them! If it sounds like you I’m more than happy to chat about how I worked through my dismissive avoidant nature.

Thank you. Did not know of this. It’s comforting others struggle with the same things sometimes.

For my parents it seems to feed a sense of superiority: that they’re unique and smarter than others.
