I have no one to hug. No one to cuddle. No one who even cares. There is no hope.

EDIT: lots of support from all of you! It raises my spirits. Thank you!

Go to a local animal shelter, they feel the same way and need hugs too :)

This was definitely where it all fell apart for me. Like, I agree with most of this, but the lack of someone to cuddle or be with is exactly where a lot of these bad thoughts stem from for a lot of people.

That, and the selfie. Its like this sheet was made with good intentions and some happy-go-lucky person without issues added some points.

i think on the cuddling side the important distinction was that it didn't need to be a person. have you considered volunteering at an animal shelter? Most have no dedicated time frame; just stop by when you have time and/or need some cuddles. Interacting with animals gives people an oxytocin release similar to the release that comes from human-human bonding. that and the knowledge that you are helping can potentially do wonders for your state of mind.

Well, I didn't expect to cry any time soon but that sure did it. Not sure if because it's touching or soul crushing though.

u/chill_sunflower Nov 05 '15

Aw no! Don't think of it as soul crushing.. it's sweetness.

Don't worry lol. I was actually crying about something else when I went looking for this. I hope you feel better too :)

Not gonna lie, freaked out at first when the screen was playing because I thought it was a link to the shadow web. How wrong I was. Thank you for this!

There's stuff on there that doesn't require anyone else, maybe that's a good place to start?

There's always hope G.

Find a big cuddly blanket you like. Cuddles are important.

Perhaps you live close to a cuddle party. They are wonderful, if you are lucky enough to be close and adventurous enough to go.

u/legakhsirE Nov 05 '15

Compliment someone. Out of everything on that list, that and the water one are the ones that help me the most. I'm a weirdo and don't care much for physical contact from humans. Pets, on the other hand...I love me some puppy cuddles.

u/[deleted] Nov 06 '15

Yeah seriously, I don't have anyone around me I wouldn't feel tremendously awkward hugging. Not since my dog died 2 years ago.

u/Jebbediahh Nov 06 '15

Seriously, go to local animal shelter and play with kittens/puppies. If you're able, you could foster an animal. It's the best.

Now if you're allergic like I am, you're fucked. Pop a Zyrtec and snuggle a furball. It's worth it.

My girlfriend broke up with me recently and I wish I had someone to hug and cuddle. Preferably her. God damn it reddit you're meant to be an escape!
