Hey everyone. I just really need to vent into a space where people understand.
I’m 41, autistic, and mentally disabled. Right now, the silence in my room is just too loud, and the loneliness is hitting me really hard. I am feeling incredibly touch-starved, and the craving for a platonic cuddle feels completely overwhelming right now.
It feels so hard to wait to build connections when your nervous system is screaming for comfort. I don't really have a female friend or anyone to hold right now, and it just hurts.
Just wanted to put this out there to feel a little less alone in the silence. Thanks for listening.
