What does it mean to have self love?
To acknowledge and respect one's needs and wants in a way that truly honors one self without undue dependence on or unreasonable demand of another.
What does it mean to be self love deficient?
To abandon or ignore one's unmet need and or desire for respect and acknowledgement. And or seek that unmet need and or desire through others.
What does it mean to be touch deprived?
To not have the access to or opportunity to have physical contact with another in a way that offers comfort and satisfaction.
So are we really reaching out to cuddle another to fill an unmet need or desire we have abandoned or ignored in ourselves?
Or are we cuddling because we desire and or need to be touched by and touch another?
Or is it both?
