I am just a man standing in front of the mirror, holding my chin up…

r/

Who just needs to be held and alas, I need to be better too. Sometimes, in the middle of the night, I miss just being held because I never was, never had been. I…just need to sigh in the cove of someone’s neck.

I must not forget though, I am man too.

I am okay being a man.

I just wish, once in a moonlight there was some government mandated hugs for men so that the lonely ones could function well.

Utopia? Dystopia? But no, I am just a man, standing in front of the mirror, holding my chin up, and telling myself “Its okay buddy, You can smile you know.”

    Do you ask people in your life for hugs?

    If you have friends and family in your life, you can ask them for a hug. Maybe make a joke out of it, that way it won’t be seen as serious and will become natural over time. Also, you will find your person who will love holding you. It will be one of their favourite things.

    If you think you need to be a better person, continue working on this. I think you sound like a nice person with good emotional intelligence – this will definitely help to attract a partner.

    I feel like I read this 20 years ago in a psychology blog or song.

    Got a step ladder & bar of chocolate? I’ll give you a platonic hug.
