    I know right?

    It’s too rare. Doesn’t help that it takes me ages to become comfortable enough for even casual touching.

    I’m lucky though, I’m close with my siblings to the point that hugs never feel out of place, but I don’t get to see em nearly as often as I’d like in adult life.

    I wish you could have that. It’s kind of a catch-22 for me because I desire the hug too, but when I actually get it I’m usually too shy to actually embrace it the way I’d like to.

    Oof… I want one from my wife. I was just talking about this with my friends and we’re all feeling the same shit. After 40/45 we became fucking invisible and we’re not allowed to have emotional needs.

    That yearning sense of isolation never leaves. You could be hugged everyday. Doesn’t matter.
