Is it toxic to want to be cuddled and held while you're sick?

Like I know it's selfish because you shouldn't want to get someone else sick but I just feel so emotional when I'm sick and crave comfort

You might not believe but I've actually pondered this for many years.

We all need human connection even more so when we are not feeling well or feeling down.

I don't know what you mean by "toxic" (poisonous...?) but it's perfectly understandable to want to be comforted when ill. Understandable too, to want not to infect others but not all illnesses are as infectious or contagious as that.
Definitely not toxic. I always cuddle my partner if they're sick & I don't really care if I end up sick 🤷 it's normal to wanna be loved & cared for when you're not feeling too great. That's human
Lol what..Meh lol haha people and thinking everything is *toxic* nowadays 😂🤣🙈🤦‍♀️🙄 but nahhhhh it is not that to want to be held when not feeling well.

I don't think so.
Comfort is a human need and being sick will make you want to be soothed. It's understandable.
