I crave affection but flinch at sudden affection. I wish someone would just hold me and not let go.

The last person who touched me consistently was my mom and she's been dead since 1986. I'm married and rarely get touched. American society is fubar, and that's the way it is now!
Greed and self-centeredness has taken a toll on our society!

Genuinely, anybody. ANYONE. I'd do anything even for something as simple as a handshake. So alone. So very very alone. Years. Can't remember the last time I was touched...

The quiz seems to think I "get physical affection", yet I haven't had ANY in almost two years.

Imagine all the nerves in your back periodically telling you that you're in immense pain, and there's literally nothing you can do to alleviate it. That's what touch deprivation feels like at the two year mark; completely random and debilitating pain that can only be relieved with physical contact, yet there's no one to touch you. ):

Wow we really are a bunch of lonely ppl huh. Ig my situation is a bit hard cos I honest
Y want someone romantically to just come up and hug me and kiss me and say that they love me. I have a bunch of family and a great relationship with everyone but I want ROMANCE. The thing is itโ€™s a religious choice for me as we arenโ€™t meant to have ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜ or romantic relationships until marriage. I mean itโ€™s a great rule because it really brings more good than harm. Like it prevents so much hurt and hardships. But I still feel so lonely so,etimes. I have a crush on this boy and I think he likes me too but weโ€™re both of the same religion and we r both quite practising so we would never do anything atm. I definitely understand why the rule is there and I can only hope that one day when I really am ready for marriage Iโ€™ll find that truly special someone โ˜น๏ธ

How Touch-Starved Are You?
Hey, are you OK? You really seem to need someone in your life to show you some love. You probably forget what it feels like to be held in someone's arms. I am so sorry. But it will get better. Keep trying to find someone. You will feel loved one day. You will be happy. And you're not the only one in your shoes - a lot of people have trouble finding someone compatible who'll treat them well. You got this! Good luck.

Yeah not surprised :/

i don't get hugs, people holding my hand or anybody touching me alot and the last time someone did was my mom when she squished my face like a month or two ago and i feel really awkward asking for physical contact but i really enjoy it and when i read a book with it in sometimes i cry because i feel so happy yet sad that it isn't actually me and i try hugging pillows in the day and the night and sometimes ill put a heat pack (the bag with beads inside that you put in the microwave) on my waist or somewhere so i can simulate the feeling of being hugged. I know it's sad but that's what i do. Oh and i also spend a lot of time in my room and took 5+ tests and turns out i'm severely depressed (hence the username) anywho done ranting. Have a good day and night, sweet dreams!

I get told A LOT by my older cousin that I'm touch deprived because I have like 39 waifus and I freak out when I get touched like I'll actually jump, like you know how you jump when you get scared in a horror movie, yeah that's me. For example my cousin tried to hug me but, I backed away slowly, as if I didn't wanna be touched but, I really wanted a hug. I guess it's just my anxiety acting up, like I don't want to be touched but at the same time I do, soooo yeah.
