    In the meantime, me:

    >buy big pillow due to back pain
    >plain white sheet, no perfume
    >hug it while laying in bed thinking about random shit
    >cat nests herself between the pillow and me
    >feel more loved from sleeping with the cat than I did when sleeping with my then fiancee

    Conclusion: Anon doesn’t need a GF. Anon needs a cat.

        EDIT: I just think cats are cunts if u love them go ahead allegedly its a free world

        That reminds me a local meme, about caramel dogs being cunts. Doing stuff like getting in the way of the bus reaching the platform, stealing junk from shops, running away alongside a 1yo human, running under a wee kid that does a 360° in air, so goes on.

        On a more serious note I had dogs. And cats. And dogs alongside cats. (It was rather cute to see that cat making the milk dance over the dog’s fur, and the dog like “I’m getting petted!”) Cute, cunt, both apply. And while one of my current cats is a notorious cunt, the one that I mentioned to sleep with me is the sweetest thing ever - not just with me, but with everyone.

      They’re always the happiest people, too, am I right?

      All op needs to do is hide who they are and what they do, and then they, too, can partake.

    Tangent, but most of our primates enjoy non-sexual touch and the rise in homophobia—or something idk—has left a lot of men afraid of even a hug. Check out old pics of guys with their buddies. What have we done to ourselves?

      Hermeneutic of suspicion. Interesting social phenomenon. I’ve worked in my adult life to fight against it. I hug my male friends, tell them I love them if I feel it, fuck all the toxicity. I know I’m straight, so who gives a shit if some sensitive bitch “alpha male” gets super self conscious if he sees it?

        Interestingly we do it all the time here in Pakistan. Showing love to your male friends and hugging is a certified alpha big boy move here cuz it tells that you are not boy enough to be shy or cringe from hugging

    Loneliness level?

    You know when your mother or SO will adjust some clothing, or put a blanket on you or something equivalent and it doesn’t sit perfect but you don’t want to change it because that oddity is what tells you they did it and that feels better than having it be comfortable?

    Yeah that, when a nurse applied a bandage to my hand. 🫠
