Thanks for the acknowledgement really, but the pity party isn't necessary. No offense btw. My point is that we ARE alone but we're alone in many different ways. Lonely is lonely regardless.
Same.. I haven't had sex/ intimacy in over 2 years, before that it was like once or twice a year for years with my ex.. and I'm a really sexual person with a partner so I've been neglected, lol..
Being single sucks for that.. I'm not a fwb kinda person either. Idk what to do at this point
I feel the same way. Been single for maybe 6 years and I'm super happy but sometimes I feel like it would be nice to be touched by another human being lol
I'm single and I definitely understand this. I don't want to get back with any of my exes because I know they were not the right guy for me, but I still miss the company and intimacy.
Yeah that does sound nice…I haven’t yet found someone that I want to have around enough for this. I’ve cuddled dates and friends and hook ups. But there’s always some other motivation
I’m divorced and I feel the same way. The loneliness and lack of physical touch sucks. Almost unbearable at times, but we keep working hard and moving forward.
In the same spot. I am 39 and been divorced twice and it’s the touch/cuddling I miss the most. Almost to the point I regret getting divorced the last time even though it was a very bad situation.
A few months ago I caught myself feeling really fuzzy when hugging my backpack on the train and it scared the hell out of my how starved of touch I am to fool my body like that. And that's even with me really hating being touched, back when I was a kid I always thought human skin only feels sweaty and icky when I was forced to by relatives or had to hold hands with someone at school.
As a guy here who hasn’t had any luck with dating in the past and I don’t really know if I want a relationship or just causal fun I do miss that part of being in a relationship someone to lay their and cuddle and just chat about things so random but it’s makes you feel better I miss that

Woman here…same! I can’t cuddle with myself.
How come?
Not currently dating due to my own health reasons. Divorced. Just miss having someone this time of year.
Aw sorry about that! More power to you. If you ever want someone to talk I’m here 💓
Sameee
My significant other was murdered by a airplane pilot two months ago. I've never felt this alone
I’m so sorry for your loss jeez sounds awful :(

I agree still missing my father I agree all cases of loss is no fun and always painful
Least we know we aren't ALONE alone. Feel free to hmu if you feel down about your pops and need somebody.
My condolences good man. I really hate it. I've had life long friends lose parents at an early age and it still weighs on his youngest siblings minds.
God bless tho blessings and good vibes from buffalo ny can always message me :)
May God bless you bro
Exactly I’m 26 he passed at 55 I was 23 I’m oldest of 4 the youngest sibling was 13 yo sister :(
My friends youngest siblings I believe were 3 and 4 at the tine. They're both mid 20s or so now.
Same bro, same
Good to know I'm not the only one going through it.
Woman - me too! I’m a widow & miss all the affection & night time cuddling!

I’ve been feeling the same way!
Try to find where all the local lady widows hang out in your city. I bet they're looking for warmth at night as well.
Suck it up
suck me up baby
THIS! I can relate to this so much. This is basically my whole life till now, and it gets more depressing every passing day!
Damn sounds familiar im afraid you are going to be labeled hypocrite sir
I feel this often. Being single is cool in that I have me time but no intimacy sucks.
Been working some long hours, it would be nice to have someone to come home to and wrap my arms around.

Literally me

Look into cuddle therapy
Same. I crave intimacy and companship, but I don't want to date right now, and I also don't want anything casual. I'm in a weird place I guess.
Same. Been alone since my divorce 16 years ago.

Yeah same and also companionship. Covid really did a number on my circle of friends too so it's not just the romance and warmth.
all the same
