Am I the only one here who likes close physical contact with other living beings?

I Sperg

I found that whilst I don't like having close personal contact of any sort forced on me, I fundamentally enjoy close physical contact with another living being.

I Like "hugs", curling up with a cat on the sofa (or indeed in bed), getting into bed when there is someone else there. 

Yet here this forum seems chock full of people who do not seem to.

I was just wondering if there is anyone else who understands that fundamental sense of happiness and "rightness" I feel when I am close to another living breathing mammal. (I've no real experience of insects or reptiles. Although I can't think of any insect I'd want to cosy up next to...)

  • I like close contact with people but it has to be the right person and when I'm in a comfortable happy mood. Growing up I didn't like hugs, probably because my mum used to just suddenly swoop down like a bird of prey on me. It scared me. I need people to say that they're about to hug me or it's too triggering.

    Without close human contact I think I would surely go mad.
