when will I get over this dumb feeling

growing up I loved hugs and touching people so much. now I feel like I have to hate it and idk why. I love it deep down but im just afraid to receive it. that's why it's so hard to be in a relationship. I've never been in one and I'm afraid if I get In none and don't want to be physical they will dump me. I need to know how to get over this fear of affection but I don't know where to start or if I should try to get over it at all.

Idk but maybe start somewhere? Others might mention therapy. But as far as touch is concerned, hugging can also be done with a pet or a teddy bear. Start small. Maybe it will help.

But if not, don't force yourself. Heal at your own phase.
