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

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 probably would like that but i never get the chance to find out.
    any touch feels weird and alien and makes me tense up, thats because im not used to it though.
    a guy at work probably figured that out and began getting touchy finding it amusing how i tense up and react oddly to any contact. although he eventually got fired for stealing phones. i should probably buy a massage or something to work through that touch issue. although seems im not destined, tried to in the last week when my parents went off on holiday and i had a week off work and every place was shut anyway. fate doesnt want me to have contact or touch of any kind it seems.

    although i do like cats, they make me feel happy. 
    and i get a weird strong light feeling (from chest up to throat and maybe in my head somewhere possibly to the mid or back brain or behind the eyes) when hairdresser does my hair or a optomotrist puts their face close to mine doing that weird eye light close up they do. probably super sensitive to oxytocin that it feels stronger than it should do, unless that is what everyone feels all the time in normie lives. or its could also be anxiety maybe lol but nah it feels good.
