Goodbye CC



Hey cuddle community!.

Wanted to say 'Good bye' to you all. Thought  it would be nice to post in this section, exchange my last messages b4 finally deleting my account.

Its nice that this site exists, "Thankyou" Mark for running it, all the pros who contribute in many different ways and of course fellow cuddlers!

Though I'v found some of the interactions in threads at times disheartening & frustrating. Overall, I have also learnt so much from them. It has been enlightening to read, hear & experience other people's, loneliness & their touch deprivation. As well as get to know some of you.

I think the concept of platonic touch really challenges the way some people think, were raised & how our society operates. (Myself included) Never mind, the online aspect & complexties of interacting with strangers. Perhaps this could explain some aspects of interactions I found difficult (both on & off line).

Nevertheless, to remember this site and the concept fondly. I'm going to leave on what feels like a fairly positive note.

I feel like I've been part of what I think is and hope will be continue to be a revoluntary idea:).

On a final note, I ask that everyone (I may as well make a final request :)) continue to keep our CC community comfortable. Please continue to apply sensitivity in humor, interactions & disagreements.

Appreciate all the interesting private and public chats.
Goodbye everyone :).

    Why are you leaving?
  • Hmm guess it wasn't clear.

    Several reasons; aside from struggling to find a buddy that matches me, time wise, willingness or patience to befriend or isn't after a hook up or a potential unhealthy relationship. (All of which is making me more skeptical of the platonic buddy concept online)

    I'm also becoming increasing frustrated when reading some of the threads yet find myself far too drawn in.

    All in all, it's time for me to.
  • Dear Annie. I will be very sad to see you go, you have a good calming effect on the threads and put thoughts and Ideas so clearly. I wish you well in your new adventures.
    Have fun, love from John and his trees. Auckland NZ
  • Thankyou so much John. You too.

    You've made me thoughtful of trees. Sadly my hayfever and tentativeness of trees has stopped me trying to get too close.:)

    (I was once told a story about the spiritual aspects of some enchanting trees by a bemused aunt, because of my fasincination with staring at trees! The story actually made me more scared than fasincinated by them! Lol.)
  • Yup they can do that.
    Love you John
  • I have always enjoyed reading your posts. I will miss you.

    All the best Annie85! I'm sorry to hear you didn't have much luck finding a platonic cuddle buddy.
  • Thanks guys. Such is life. Bye ;)
  • Aw, @Annie85... I'm sorry to see you go. We didn't know each other particularly well, but I will miss reading your contributions to these threads. You always seemed so level-headed and reasonable, and somehow above the hostility that occasionally surfaces in any online environment. I think we all love the platonic cuddle buddy concept, but our numbers haven't reached critical mass yet ... so many of us never find a reliable cuddle buddy who isn't looking for pay ... or for more than cuddles. I hope the movement will grow though.

    Take care, Annie85. Be happy. Be well.

    Bye bye bye. 
  • Bye annie85 I wish you the best.
  • @Annie85 it is good that you are recognizing the need to make a change in order to remain healthy and happy. It is difficult to not get drawn in to some of the negative clutter, and like our homes, we need to give ourselves a good spring clean every now and then. I know you have made positive impact with some of the folks here and for that I am sure they as well as you are thankful and will have fondness when thinking about it. Good luck and take care!
  • I will miss you, all the best to you!
  • that's a shame. kind of know how you feel coz i've not been on here for ages as nothing is going on in my area really but last time i went off for months and didn't come back. i don't feel a need to delete my account but i also don't feel a need to come here much either.
  • @Irene I am always glad to see you, when you do post here.
    ♥Jim
  • Bye, Annie... I hope I can find some near me in Tampa for Platonic Relationships. I am on another site, but it almost has the same effect you talking about. I am going to give a try... Just to say I did give it a chance.
  • Just out of curiosity - what is the other site?
  • thanks @I_Am_Polylover, just got so busy with real life but now i'm struggling with a course so back to procrastination mode. :D

    Annie is a good lady. I'm sad to see her go but happy to still be in touch and hear that things are going well for her. That's all anyone can ask for! :)
