I’m the same way. I know it’s never going to happen but I can’t help the urges and desires I get for affection and intimacy

idk man, sure it’s possible for me to improve but that doesn’t mean i’m gonna. it’s very hard to love yourself out of a hole, eventually you need external validation and support and if i just don’t get that (which i haven’t) i don’t improve, and then i continue to go through life unloved

if it’s possible why assume it’s not possible? this is like a self fulfilling prophecy. unless ur like 60-80 u have ur whole life ahead of you to experience love in platonic and romantic forms it’s not as if it’s all over here.

possible doesn’t mean probable, you can have possible things with 0 chance of happening. from my current viewpoint of my life situation, it just seems that i’m not going to make it

Also would highly recommend spending some time around an animal (I don’t have one but every time I’m at my brothers house with his golden it reminds me there’s so many diff kinds of affection it doesn’t matter if I’m not getting it in other ways rn7)
