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

Emily001

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 can't agree that you 'need to comfort yourself', I think it's much more likely that you need to feel comforted in that special way that can only come from someone who cares about you. If it can't be a person, I think that sometimes just cuddling a pet can help, even if it isn't quite the same, but just knowing that someone or something gives a damn about you at all, matters.

    When I was very little, whenever my Mum got the vacuum cleaner out, I used to go and get one of my Dad's jackets. I would lie on the sofa and cover myself completely (I was little, my Dad was a very big, muscular bloke) and that would muffle the noise. Then I'd often get so warm and cosy under there that I would escape into sleep. It felt like the safest 'cuddle' I could get, and even now I can easily recall the amount of comfort I felt from it. I sometimes do the same with a quilt these days, just like you
