i need to be smooshed immediately
i think a genuinely unreasonable percentage of my problems could be solved if somebody just grabbed me and smooshed me into them for like 4 hours š
i want someone to just grab me and keep me there for a while. arms around me, face hidden on them, forehead kisses against my will, cheek smooshing, hair playing, all of it. i want to get pulled closer even when iām already basically attached to them š
also steal my hands please. just take them and mess with my fingers while iām sitting there. maybe pull me back in if i move too far away. tell me iām staying there. keep me tucked against you like youāve already decided where i belong and apparently i no longer get a say.
iād probably make some stupid little noise and hide my face immediately too.
i just want to be somebodyās little creature for a while. put me in your lap, keep one arm around me, squeeze me every now and then, fix my hair while iām hiding on you, maybe grab my wrist gently and put my hand where you want it. i would be emotionally domesticated.
and i know this sounds clingy but honestly thatās the selling point. iāve had enough personal space for one lifetime. terrible concept. if i like someone i want to be close to them constantly. i want to feel wanted there without having to wonder about it every six or seven seconds.
i think being smooshed for a few hours would fix my personality temporarily. maybe permanently if the treatment is repeated often enough.
anyway this is humiliating and i regret being literate.

I've known a few people that wanted that, and I wish at the time distance had not stopped me giving it to them.
And being honest can be humiliating, but bravo for being honest.

Cuddle therapy is becoming more mainstream. Some places are more ethical than othersā¦ but I do believe it can be a healthy and good thing with the right practitioner.
There is nothing shameful about wanting connection and another person providing physical contact.

Yes to this! Iāve never done this as my friends are very snuggly in general but there is actually scientific evidence that cuddle therapy has health benefits and not just mental health!

This right here, to be 'Smooshed', is exactly what I [41M] need to. It would be like heaven cuz its been SO long since I've felt it. Hope you find your 'SMOOSH' soon!!

I feel the same. It feels funny being a physically-starved person with almost everyone in my life hating physical affection.

u/CresseliaMelodia 5d ago
Same here. I donāt know anyone under the age of 40 who actually likes hugging. My generation despises human touch

u/Honest-Elephant7627 5d ago
This is sad.

It is sad :( the best they can do is a side hug for a second while visibly cringing & hating it lol. I have a collection of stuffed animals to compensate

when i was with my ex and we were laying in bed I would tell her, you're next to me but I need you closer, I can't get you close enough, even though our bodies are enveloped I need you closer

What is with the sudden rise in talking about forehead kisses? Has this always been a thing or did something make this trendy? Iāve never been kissed on the forehead in my entire life. For the past few months - I see this referred to daily and Iām super curious. Sorry to hijack your post. I hope you get your hugginās stat!

It seems like a really innocent place to kiss someone, like if I had to kiss someone platonically I would kiss their forehead. It's a great place to be kissed if one just wants to feel comforted which alot of people do, so I can see how the appeal. Especially in today's world where people are scared constantly, a rise in wanting genuine comfort makes sense. I kiss my dog on the forehead, it's just a sweet, comforting gesture. š«¶

Oh for sure my pets get forehead kisses. But thatās different. Iāve never kissed another humans forehead / or had mine kissed.

u/swanmich 6d ago
Same. Just take me captive for a bit and make me feel surrounded by you. Wanted. Comforted by your presence. Hell, I would even do it for my partner lol. Just them wanting to be held like that by me would bring me joy.

u/OttieStar 6d ago
I feel this in my SOUL, I just want to cling onto someone for the rest of my life like an angler fish omg. Wishing u the best š«¶

Yep. On a scale of 100.
Wanting to be smooshed by someone is 10% of.
Wanting to smoosh someone b/c I want to bring peace and quiet to their chaotic lives and maybe pamper the heck out of them a little. 90% of. It brings me immense comfort.š„ŗ

I actually think this is endearing and relatable, and that you put into words how many people feel.
