I’m 18M, and lately I’ve been craving affection more than anything. I don’t mean sex or anything sexual. I just want a genuine hug, cuddles, or someone I can feel safe around. I feel lonely even when I’m surrounded by people, and asking for something as simple as a hug feels awkward to me. Does anyone else feel this way? How do you deal with it? submitted by /u/Educational_Alps2465
