aw,, that's ok wanting a hug is not pathetic; everyone needs physical and emotional connection. ik you're trying to get better and things will be ok if you keep going. I'd give you a hug if I could cus I kinda need one too rn

sorry if it sounded too much like the pointless positivism "it gets better" thing but I genuinely wish you the best

Hugs to you. Sorry things are rough. It's not pathetic at all to want comfort. I'm having a really hard time as well and feel that same longing for comfort.

Hugs to you as well. I'm sorry it's just words.

I think most people here long for comfort, even if for some it's buried so deep down that they reject it, for various reasons

I do(sorta) I have a boyfriend and friends but they can only do so much when I am with my toxic family the majority of the time. It's also comforting sometimes to say these things here, there's a sense of anonymity but also strangers can still understand

Another virtual hug:

<⁠(⁠ ̄⁠︶⁠ ̄⁠)⁠>

I just hugged my monitor for you and my housemate gave me a rather strange look I guess I now need to explain myself 🙄.

I don't get enough hugs in person, I do get hugs from my housemates girlfriend when ever I see her which is nice. I'm a very huggy person and I'm very hug deprived. I used to have a very huggy work colleague and I got a morning "hello" hug and an afternoon "goodbye" hug. I miss her a lot 😣

Definitely not pathetic, being hugged is one of the nicest things in the world.

I miss hugs, been ages since I had a proper empathetic hug from a friend.

You dont sound pathetic or anything like that for wanting a hug (:

It's like a fundamental human need. Touch starvation is so hard to deal with ):

Sending you lots of virtual hugs (:

Huge hugs, endless love and caring thoughts and the knowledge that you ARE a VERY important person with so much love to yourself and others.

Lots of sunshine and blue skies with lovely rainbows shimmering in the sunlight to you.
