touch starved aroaces where you at

I'm trying to make a point to myself

[edit: this blow up wtf, guess I did make a point to myself then]

[justkindame]

How do you cope with being touch starved? I feel like I’m going to fall apart if someone doesn’t hug me for at least a whole day.

[therewillbenoromance]

thinking about how long i thought "oh i'm just a butch lesbian yeah :) might b non-binary too"

like buddy... buddy no

I love you but in a platonic way

Man being platonically queer is hard like how do you tell some that I love you, I love you so much I want to wake up next to you, I want to cuddle you until we become one to hold you so close and whisper sweet nothings into each other’s ears, to wake up and be tangled in your limbs, I want you to pepper my face in kisses and let me do the same, I want to lie awake at night talking to you and plan out our life together I love you. Without it being taken in a romantic or sexual way

hey who wants to hold hands and play with my hair and be so gentle with me i might shatter into a million pieces

Chewing at the fucking walls to be hugged with various affections

[justanaromantic]

there's really nothing as amazing as having a real cuddle with your friends tbh. laying on a bed, limbs completely tangled together, leaning your whole self into someone else. and knowing with a certainty that none of them see it as anything other than platonic. that it's really a group of friends being closer with each other than they are with anyone else. that it's okay if I'm holding his hand and it's okay if I lean my forehead against hers and it's okay if card my hands through his hair and it's okay if I lay on her arm and it's okay if i just hold them. because we're a bunch of friends enjoying our time and physical closeness together. we all know that there's no way in hell any of us "like like" each other, but we all know we love each other, and it's amazing.

y’know, i really like the concept of physical affection.

oh, to rest my head on someone’s shoulder as we watch the sunset fade into a galaxy-splattered midnight, to be an innocent passerby tragically caught in the crossfire of a war, carried by a solider, who was once my closest friend, to a field of flowers, where i can die with peace, as my consciousness swims, to hug someone with all the love i have left in my lifeless soul as the world around us falls apart…

but like. then i actually have to touch another human person. every time someone touches me i feel the need to physically rip off my skin i hate it.

[roasting-aphobes]

Every touch-starved aro/ace needs a hug sometimes. Just sometimes. You just need to ask their permission.

I HATE WHEN THIS HAPPENS

One moment I be like:

AND THEN THE SECOND AFTER THAT I ALWAYS BE LIKE:

someone help I hate affection but love it at the same time

[justkindame]

Being touch starved sucks.

I‘m not doing anything! WHY AM I CRYING????

[gaily-daily]

Normal people: I'm so touch starved! I brushed up against someone yesterday and I almost cried!

Me an asexual trying to blend in: Yes. Me too. So...so starved for the, uh, touching...

[tarraxahum]

When your dynamic is "Please rest for me" x "I will fucking murder for you". And also you're both aroace and all this guard dog energy is insanely platonic.

Lyoka and Nia may participate in the OC kiss week too, as a treat. (This time spoilers for the future, not the past, for a change.)

Starving for touch

man I’m so touch starved I’ve resorted to using a weighted blanket but that still doesn’t replace the touch the warm of a human being and it sucks so much cuz I miss cuddling with my platonic partner I miss feeling their touch so much we still see each other all the time but we still haven’t been able to cuddle and relax in each other’s arms in awhile I miss feeling their breathing and I miss feeling all warm and fuzzy when I’m wrapped up in their arms. Man I’m touch starved and man I miss my platonic partner.

[aroacearchangel]

i wish that i could comfortably cuddle people without them wanting anything more. all sensual forms of touch actually.

[sonofwhales]

Had a dream where I was with a bunch of naked people in the woods at night and a man asked if I wanted to have sex with him but I declined so he offered to cuddle instead.

The guy was really soft and I just laid on his chest as he stroked my back until we both fell asleep.

Idk what midsummer's night dream is about but this is my closest guess.

Also I was unable to think about anything else for the rest of the day. Yes I am aspec. Yes I really crave intimate affection.
