I didn’t grow up in an affectionate family, so I’m used to my space and don’t require a lot of contact, but I would like to feel welcome to touch and I would like it to feel like a positive when it happens. He’ll often jerk away when I try to touch him so I just don’t because that’s crushing, and when he touches me, it just makes me feel self conscious. I try to let it be positive, but there’s always relief that it’s brief. The whole thing’s broken my head so much I’m not sure I could tolerate cuddling.
