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?

  • Thank you. It's so strange because I love being in my garden too! I love plants and animals (I have a toad in my garden). Unfortunately I live with my parents who are apparently indifferent to me. I've recently finished my contract with work and haven't made any friends where I live. I've got a few mental health problems which people are trying to help me with which are making it just even more difficult to get out. I currently spend my days painting pictures for the people who help me. I also look for courses etc online. There are lots of free ones at the local college which have helped me understand alot more than I did.

    it really is nice though to have someone, even someone I've never met before, say they understand. Your advice is brilliant and I hope you keep giving it out to people because it's really made a difference to me.
