Touch hungry

Apr 21, 2020 23:49

Sounds interesting? Maybe. but apparently it's a legitimate problem, and I have all the symptoms, or so I am told by the one who's touch I crave. My real problem is, I LOVE TO BE TOUCHED - but - I HATE TO BE TOUCHED BY ALMOST ANYONE. It takes me forever to build trust to get to that point, and even then - there has to be that oh so rare and ever fading from existence "zing". Oh well.

From some scientific study - "It's possible to be touch hungry and not even know it-or even to mistake your symptoms for poor mental health. "People who are touch hungry usually present as being depressed individuals," Field says. "They're withdrawn; their voice intonation contour is flat." She adds that people suffering from clinical depression may also often suffer from touch hunger-and this can be seen in an area of the brain called the vagus. "When you massage these people, their depression levels go down and their vagal activity goes up."

Maybe this is why I just can't anymore.
Maybe touch is all I've left to crave for.
When love is gone the soul shuts down.
And without touch, it soon will drown.

I'm drowning, crying out in a flatly contoured intonation of a voice. Depressed until I get some vagal action.

Vagal stimulation to cure my touch hungry affliction. LMFAO.

Well, twas nice to get more ramblings out of my system.
-cheers.
