When my dad kissed me on the head. This is the first time he has shown affection. (he hasn’t shown me any kind of tactile affection since I was 10). I cried at this after crying bc of my drunk mom.
I hate things, touching the palms of my hands, even my own hands. Makes holding hands with people hard. Like I want to, I want the connection and all that it’s just a sensory nightmare for me.
The people I care about adapted to this and let me hold their fingers instead .
My man knows I feel like a burden whenever we go to fast food and I’m the only one that orders or we both order but he saves his for later so without saying anything abt it I noticed he always eats now. And when he kisses my hand and tries to dance with me even tho I suck at it
I’m not getting any sales with my current marketing strategy, so I need fresh tips ASAP. Because right now, I’m too broke for feelings—can’t even afford intimacy. So help me make money first… then maybe I can afford love, experience it, and finally give you tips on better intimacy too. It’s a full circle.
Here’s a vulnerable share: I have a scar in my chest from where I had my pacemaker placed. It’s probably my biggest insecurity.
Last woman I dated, I told her about it, and the first time we were intimate she kissed my chest and said something about how it looked kinda cool. Made me look like a warrior.
I fought back tears. This was back in 2019 and I still think about it.
Warmly placing his hand on my lower back, it makes me feel assured he’s got my back. And it’s such a warming feeling that makes me feel tingly and desired and loved.
genuinely concerned for me—not just reacting, but truly empathizing. working together as a team on it, not just giving random advice, but offering real help.
I was at a wedding, best person, about to do a speech. I was nervous. We had roasted celeriac and I couldn’t cut it up, it was so tough and i was nervous. Anyway, my pal, a grooms person cut it up for me whilst i did my speech and it was such a small act of love but was so beautiful and honestly made me feel so seen and held in that moment. They said “hope it’s not weird to cut up your food” and it wasn’t, i could have kissed them
Before my husband passed we would touch ankles in bed if we were going to sleep upset with each other. One of us would shoot our leg over to the other side of the bed and make contact😉. Sometimes you don’t resolve an issue before bed. It was our way of saying I’m still here and we’re still connected…but it’s too early for full cuddles😂
My partner used to be a chef. When he cooks for me, he always plates my meal up beautifully before slopping his meal onto his own plate. That little moment of effort says so much. 😍

Random hugs
Being told I made her feel safe.
Kiss on the forehead

Holding hands just to make me feel safe
The lady at the bar who during a conversation all of a sudden laid her hand on my lap and called me a big boy.🤩
When they take the time to learn about my hobbies, even if it’s just a little bit.

My husband sets the Keurig up for me every morning before he leaves for work. Very simple thing but means a lot
Deep kisses while hugging tightly

They always leave me leftovers.
Randomly holding/squeezing my hand even when alone at home.

Handing me a cup of water. Made me felt remembered
Playing with my hair
Crying with me when I shared something heavy. Made me feel so loved and seen!
Cutting up some fruit and feeding me each and every bite.
Shampooing my hair.

Making tea for me when I didn’t ask, but they knew I needed it. Little things speak loudly.
A little tap on the shoulder after 40 days quarantined in Intensive care. I cried.
When it’s cold and my husband randomly opens his gown in the morning, inviting me in for a long hug.
Got Forehead kisses from my partner after I cried my heart out. It made me feel so safe and respected.
