Hypersensitive to touch but want a hug from someone....

Im really sensitive to being touched, it hurts and makes me feel uncomfortable, but I just feel so lonely I want someone to hug me. I don't really understand why.

Please, does anyone feel like this or understand at all? And, if anyone has felt like this, did hugging anyone make you feel better or did it just make it worse?

  • I love hugs but only when I am in the right state/mood to receive them, otherwise they can irritate me.  If there is another type of touch that you do like then maybe you can adapt it or change the position eg. a 'side hug' or something.  

    I feel very lonely too right now, I recommend 'smiling minds' app which is mindfulness meditation/relaxion, I always feel more happy after doing it.  Another thing I do is burn essential oil, it makes me feel good.  Or listen to music.
