Question:
Single people-- how often do you get touched? do you feel touch deprived?
i feel like i go days without touching anyone, or being touched. I mean just general physical contact. is this unhealthy?
Answers:
I would say in a sense it's unhealthy because you do need affection--everyone does, even those that "seem" unaffectionate. Honestly it's one of the hardest parts of being single but also happens to those that aren't single. I benefit from having two sons and two cats but sometimes they don't want to give cuddling either. Perhaps in your case a pet would suffice but if not there's nothing wrong at all with cuddling a friend that you're close to while watching a movie, or something to that nature. However no affection given or received is something that's unhealthy for the mind if not unhealthy altogether. Now you'll have to excuse me while I stop acting like Elmira from Tiny Toons and put my poor cat down so he can use the litter box in peace. ;)
