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...)

Parents
  • 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.

    i love head massage, but the problem is I won't let many people touch my head, 

  • A secret pleasure I've enjoyed for many decades is having my hair washed and cut in womens places.

    Shop around until you find one you like...

    I've always dreaded the "how do you want it question", but I solved it eventually by saying, "please just make me look as nice and employable as possible". Whenever possible always let women "style" you, most times they like it, and mostly they do a better job than you would get elsewhere. 

    I did always feel slightly guilty liking it so much, especially as I was always in a relationship already, but it is essentially an innocent pleasure, but how nice it was to actually enjoy having my hair cut.
