About me
Hi! I'm Kat. I'm affectionate, curious, nerdy, and generally pretty easygoing about how people choose to be around me. ☺️ I'm happiest when people feel safe enough to just be themselves around me instead of worrying about whether they're being social enough, interesting enough, relaxed enough, or otherwise performing some version of who they think they're supposed to be. 🎭
I'm very much a comfort girl. Give me pajamas, soft blankets, pillows, stuffed animals, and something good to watch and I'm happy. 🧸 If you have a favorite blanket you drag everywhere, a stuffed animal you still sleep with, or a pair of ridiculous pajama pants you refuse to give up, you are in extremely safe company. 😌
I like cuddling for the obvious reason that physical affection is nice, but I also really enjoy the companionship that comes with it. We can talk for hours, put on a movie or show, listen to music, laugh about something stupid, or just be quiet for a while. 🍿🎶 I don't need you to keep me entertained, and I'm not going to interpret a lull in conversation as some kind of social emergency that needs to be fixed immediately. ☺️
One thing worth knowing about me is that I'm autistic and have a fairly blunted affect. Basically, my face and tone of voice don't always advertise what I'm feeling very well. 😅 I can be perfectly happy and comfortable while looking much more neutral than you might expect. I'm also a pretty direct communicator. If I'm uncomfortable, I'll tell you. If I say I'm fine, you don't need to search my facial expression for secret evidence that I actually mean something else. 🙂↔️
That carries over into how I interact with other people, too. I'm very comfortable with people who are neurodivergent, socially anxious, shy, awkward, bad at eye contact, prone to overthinking, or who just need a little while before they stop feeling weird around someone new. 🙂↕️ You don't need to mask for me or spend the whole session monitoring whether you're being social enough. If you want to talk, talk. If you need a minute to think before answering something, take it. If eye contact isn't your thing, I promise we'll be just fine.
I'm also a huge nerd and genuinely enjoy hearing people talk about whatever they're into. If you want to put on a favorite movie or show and tell me why you love it, I'm absolutely down for that. If you've put hundreds of hours into a game 🎮, gone down some ridiculous historical rabbit hole 🕳️, developed Opinions™ about a fictional universe 😤, or currently have one very specific subject occupying most of your available brain space, 🧠 feel free to infodump.
I truly love listening to people talk about things they care about, even when I know absolutely nothing about the subject going in. And if you don't want to talk much, that works too. I'm comfortable with silence. Sometimes it's nice to just curl up with another person and exist for a while! ☺️
If you're new to cuddling, especially if you haven't had much physical affection before, you don't need to show up already knowing what you're doing. Wanting to cuddle someone in theory and suddenly having an actual human being beside you can feel very different. You might be nervous, awkward, or realize you have absolutely no idea what people normally do with their arms. 🙃
You might discover that you love being held, prefer holding someone else, or need more time and space than you expected. All of those reactions make sense. There isn't one "right" way to experience physical affection, especially if it's unfamiliar to you. You're allowed to take your time, change your mind, need more space, or discover that something feels different in practice than you imagined. 🫶🏼
Mostly, I want you to feel like you can actually be yourself around me. Bring the nerves, the quietness, the weird interests, the hyperfixation, the movie you've watched thirty times, your favorite blanket, the stuffed animal you refuse to retire, or absolutely nothing you particularly feel like talking about. 🫂
We'll figure out the rest when we get there.
Full disclosure: Unfortunately, while I was waiting for my profile to be approved, I started having some car issues that I haven't been able to get resolved yet. If you're outside the Sarasota/Bradenton area, that makes traveling to you a little difficult for me at the moment. 😅
I'm definitely not opposed to planning something in the future once I have reliable transportation again, though! If you're interested in arranging a session outside of the Sarasota area in the future, I'd be happy to chat and see what we can work out. 🫶🏼
