They crave cuddles.

Who among us cannot say the same?

[-] Tonava@sopuli.xyz 2 points 3 weeks ago

I can! I'm disgusted by other people touching me. I'm more like those shy cats that hide under the furniture if you try to pet them, and only come hang out next to you if you leave them alone

(and yes it's 'tism)

[-] GhostFace@lemmy.today 1 points 3 weeks ago

You can crave cuddles and be disgusted by other human beings at the same time.

It's called I have a person, and only that person may touch me. And the cat. The cat too.

[-] Tonava@sopuli.xyz 1 points 3 weeks ago

Understandable, yes! I lack that too though, I just don't like to be touched nor touch others, and I do not desire it either. I do like to pet... or I guess more like poke and pat animals (though there's specific conditions for what type of fur I will tolerate touching), but that's about it. I can hug my dog but that's about the extend of it. I also have problems with my own limbs touching each other or my torso which causes more issues honestly. "Touch starved" is something I simply don't understand lmao

Not sure that i do. Those seem to be completely pointless and I'm always baffled why people crave those so much. Under good circumstances, after practicing those become completely neutral, but usually those are just uncomfortable.

I just took an NFPA 70E electrical safety course, and the instructor was talking about how electricians love to cuddle.

I thought it was weird for a sec, then I remembered the last time I opened an electrical panel with someone else nearby. Then I remembered every other time I opened an electrical panel with other people nearby. Then I remembered all the times that I was all the other people nearby.

Then he showed us a video of an arc flash with 3 people inside the panel, and then there was nobody nearby.

Arc flashes are nature’s way of saying cuddle time is over.

Straight guys can't say it. Not because they don't crave them, they just can't say that they do without social sanction. Everyone else apparently gets a pass though.

[-] ScytheDraven47@piefed.zip 2 points 3 weeks ago

I'll say it; I crave cuddles.

Cuddles while watching TV is one of the only things that'll pull me away from my computer.

[-] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 0 points 3 weeks ago

Brave. Now say it on a de-anonymized platform and enjoy being a social pariah for the rest of your life.

[-] Ilovethebomb@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 weeks ago

I'm absolutely baffled by this comment. What makes you think this would be an even remotely controversial thing to say?

[-] Fluke@feddit.uk 1 points 3 weeks ago

Pffft. Grow the fuck up, find your fucking balls and fucking own it.

It only plays that way if you let it.

[-] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 0 points 3 weeks ago

Having balls doesn't stop society from ridiculing/deriding/scorning/stigmatizing/sanctioning me. Oh, if only growing a pair was all I needed to do.

It only plays that way if you let it.

As if being rejected by society is something I have control over! It takes a sociopathic narcissist to think "people can only hate me if I let them."

[-] Fluke@feddit.uk 1 points 3 weeks ago

It takes the aforementioned set of minerals to cease giving a flying fuck what those that have negative comment for showing your feelings have to say.

Society at large doesn't ridicule for that, merely certain toxic subsets that should be rightfully shunned into nonexistence.

Become the change you want to see.
