U pop up in my feed a lot and every time its like being shown a mirror. Sometimes it's uncanny I'll be thinking something and one of ur posts will show up and theres the inside of my head. How do u cope with longing for intimacy? If at all? Do u think it's possible to date when we're like this? Is there any specific way ud go about it or wld u just use the apps? That's a lot sry hugs ily ur very sweet
my longing for intimacy is mainly related to platonic and familial rather than romantic. same thought process for me tbh, where it’s like spiraling and ruminating over things (more so the platonic ones) and wanting to be closer to ppl yet not wanting to be vulnerable.
since you’re asking about romantic relationships i dont have much input personally atm bc i have been so dulled down by antidepressants and my ed that i genuinely feel no attraction or interest to anyone. however, if you relate so much to what i post than i think you should reconsider why you want to find a partner and if it’s what you really want, how to get better. i think i am not ready to be in a relationship in my current state and if i were to be in one it would be toxic and harmful for both parties. i have lots to work on before i can be in one (aside from the 0 interest) in a healthy way.
