So I've been wishing for platonic cuddles basically my whole life. I only just found out about this place. It took me a while to decide whether or not to sign up because despite wishing I could just meet someone and plop down on the couch with them I'm not sure that I can do that. It's difficult to define how it happens but I can often get very anxious with people I don't know in places I don't know. Sometimes nearly having a panic attack, especially in large crowds. Yet I can also sometimes walk up to complete strangers and within minutes talk like we've been friends forever.
I haven't had a lot of social experiences in my life (which is likely why I developed social anxiety) so I still don't know exactly what situations will and won't make me anxious. In theory, knowing that I'm meeting someone who just wants to cuddle should calm me down because most of what stresses me out is the fear of the unknown when it comes to people, not knowing their boundaries or intents, but in practice I genuinely don't know if it will or not. And if I do get anxious I probably won't be in a cuddly mood with that person. Yes cuddling would likely calm me down but I don't think cuddling with the person who is the source of the anxiety would.
It also seems that there aren't many women on this site so the ones that are here get to pick and choose who they want to cuddle with. If I tell them I have social anxiety that seems like it'd be an instant turnoff and I'd never get a cuddle buddy but I feel like not telling them would be deceptive and unfair.
What are your thoughts? Is it alright for someone like me to try to use this site? Do you have or have you encountered someone on this site with social anxiety? How did it go?
