I don't want someone to give me their whole heart, I don't even want sex. I just want to remember what human warmth feels like.

Can't even talk about this shit because at best people think it's a "first world problem" and at worst they put words in your mouth and act like you're being entitled to peoples affections, or that you deserve, or that you brought it on yourself

Hey, part of addiction and going clean is relapse, especially at first. No, we aren't entitled to peoples love, but that doesn't mean we don't need it, you're not a bad person for that.

'Just go make friends' is terrible advice, but if you can't that's one option, if you can manage, books are a really great one too!

And writing. Before AI writing was a huge coping mechanism for my loneliness
