Everyone here will find someone. We just need to wait a little longer
Dang same
facts 😂
Yup 😭
While dating my wife many years ago, she had her wisdom teeth removed and developed dry sockets. It is a very painful condition. I cuddled with her on the sofa and stroked her head for hours. She said it made the pain less. Now I know why.
Awww that's so sweet :)
I stroked my father's forehead when he had headaches...a long time ago...
I don’t remember when the last time I stroked/massaged his forehead...
He said I was good on it...
In headaches I also did it on my self but it didn’t felt good for some reason perhaps...
Maybe it was loneliness
Now THAT is a good time to do it AND a heroic gesture.
That is painful indeedddddd
Wait, are you saying that those dry sockets are permanent or did it last for a few days or weeks?
*As someone who’s cuddled a stuffed bear and a girlfriend. I can confirm, these facts are true.* 😌✨

WAIT HOW IS THIS COMMENT 8 DAYS AGO??
It’s been so long since I last had a hug or gave out one to anyone. If the pandemic ever comes to an end, I want to start giving out as many hugs and cuddles as I can. ❤️
While I know it's quite the same one thing I learned from my therapist is that you can take a "waist trainer" (the ones that you wrap around not slid on) and wrap it around your shoulders! It really helps for me I just feel strangely happy! And you can get them for like 15 bucks at Walmart!

Cuddling is actually the worst thing for my mental health because it’s addictive, and if the relationship ends I then experience withdrawal symptoms 24/7 until my next relationship
Use it for pair-bonding, reap the consequences.
It's why I still cuddle with my baby blanket. Feels comforting.
I still have a stuffed animal (it's a horse), but I miss my shark, because it was big and I could wrap my whole body around it and I was happy doing that. IM GETTING ANOTHER SHARK.

happy valentines day my love 🌹~ you deserve so much love because you are such a amazing person. you are enough to others and to yourself. keep doing the things you love and don't ever quit. most people celebrate valentines day with their significant others or loved ones, but there's time where others needs to be remined to also love themselves, take care themselves, and treat themselves. so im here to tell you to do that because you deserve a lot of love. i may be a stranger to you and i don't know what you have gone through in your life, but i just want you to be happy and positive, okay? we all gone through a lot of different struggles, but just take a deep breath and a break. sat that a side for now and enjoy life. do the things you've always wanted to do. eat the food you've been craving for. do the things that makes you happy because you really deserve to be happy. my friend, i lava you~ 🌹♡♡
thank you for spreading positivity! it's nice seeing people who care in a world of strangers
Neat
Too artificial and generic.
When you have trust issues, and are touch *adverse* as well as touch starved, it's hard to let yourself be vulnerable enough to approach someone you're close to for a hug or cuddle.
'Let me try to lift you' it's a good excuse.
If someone is very adverse to the skin to skin contact try holding the same object with someone, faking a game, or use the 'measure' contest excuse (nail to nail, fingers, palms, forearms etc)
I actually hate being touched, which means when someone hugs me I feel uncomfortable, but if I open up to someone hugging me I'm fine, it just depends on the person. I actually don't let my own family hug me, it's rare for me to let them hug me, I've only gotten use to 1 person hugging me, and they are a close friend like a sibling. I can hug stuffed animals because they make me calm down, even let my emotions out!
I can relate
There’s only 1 person I don’t mind hugging and that’s my best friend. And there’s one person I actually like hugging and that’s my boyfriend. He’s the only person that I allow into my personal space because I trust him more than anyone. He’s the main reason why I stopped cutting myself with razors and stopped bottling my emotions and I’m forever grateful.
Bad thing is I rely on him and have separation anxiety, and going too long without seeing him kind of messes everything up for me 😅
Yes
I feel this so much
i was so touch starved until i met my girlfriend, sometimes when we just started dating if we hugged or cuddled, my chin would literally shake uncontrollably from happiness. < 3
How are y'all doing now?
@@bladegriggs4090 she dumped me lmao
That last one I really resonate with, I have really bad anxiety, and I’m really shy, one day in one of my classes , someone in the class just started hugging everyone in the class, idk why exactly, but when they got to me and hugged me, I felt a lot of my stress just go away, and felt a lot more motivated to talk to people, I was overall just happier for the rest of the day

Noice
boy is that just absolutely not true.
My new friends and I always hug. I never got hugged like this many times and now that it’s happening, it makes me so happy it became something I like needed everyday. This video is so true
Cuddling does make you feel good but also for me personally makes me more nervous. Are they hearing my breathing? Am I swallowing too loudly? Are they comfy? Are they okay with this? I don’t know if it’s just me but cuddling is pretty scary even with the closest of people.
Yes, cuddling can be quite intimate that it makes you feel vulnerable.
I'm the same. Even though I desperately crave hugs, I can't hug even my closest friend because it makes me so anxious. I suffer from GAD and SAD, so that's probably why. It really sucks. :( I hope one day I'll be well enough to hug someone without feeling anxious, scared or uncomfortable.
don't worry as someone who who hugs their friend a lot I am 100% sure that the person you're cuddling with doesn't even notice those things,they are just very happy to cuddle with you✿
Among my group of friends I can trust, I'm often seen as the mentally and physically toughest (I work a job that grinds you into the ground and they know I do killer workouts) so you can guess how generally hesitant I am to give/receive hugs because I don't want to be labelled as weak.
Worse yet, displaying such emotions back in high school would earn you terms such as gay and faggot.
Adding to Aushi's comment, if they do notice those things, they probably don't mind, or they could even find them comforting. Many ASMR videos that people find relaxing feature breathing sounds
Cuddling is OP. More desirable than a hug
Nothing beats a good hug. I love hugging my friends, or my parents. Covid made it hard and it made me realize once more how much I appreciate hugs.
I hug a lot of the dogs on my mail route. They actually wait patiently for me to get to their mailbox just because they're expecting the hugs and pets and belly rubs. I look forward to this every single day.
Dog hugs are the best hugs
I haven't had a hug in quite a long time. I used to hug my mother but since we haven't talked in so long, i haven't really been able to hug anyone else. Human contact is everything to me because when you don't have it often, you feel like there's something missing in your life.
Worry not. That aching pain of being touch starved could mean that you've experienced a lot of hugs from loved ones before and is a natural response to their absence. Trust me when I say that there are people out there who also long for hugs and cuddles and you will find them. Don't be afraid to be vocal about it to people you meet. It is a basic human need that everyone has and someone might be more than happy to oblige.

yep same
I've been alone on Valentine's day just because I'm shy and I don't trust people even when I like someone.... Maybe that's why I've never had my heart broken
I don’t get hugs that often. I don’t give as many hugs out as I used to because I’ve been overbearing in the past and have ruined friendships because of it. But no one gives me hugs so I’m stuck being super touch deprived. So much so that when one of my friends gave me a pat on the back when I was tired, I teared up. I haven’t cried since 2019. And then when I hugged this same person a couple weeks later, I almost full on burst into tears. I never thought I’d cry from stuff like that. I’m very sad and lonely and that friends graduated last semester so I don’t see them nearly as much anymore. But when I do it’s great!!
Growing up I was never really into hugging
This is mostly because when I was born I was a premy (premature baby) and my mother couldn’t hold me because I was way to fragile
And this is most likely why I’m not too into hugging
I’ve gotten more comfortable with hugging but i still need some work on that
Plus my family isn’t super affectionate not to say that there neglectful there most definitely not
My family just simply respects each other’s personal space
I hope that someday when I do find a partner that they’ll cuddle me every now and then and hopefully this will help me get better at showing affection
I have heard a lot of people say that they weren't into hugs because their families weren't affectionate, but mine was really into physical contact and I hated it. I was even labelled as untouchable by my family because of my reaction to hugs and especially kisses. I wonder why, that started happening when I was around 5 and continued until I was 20-22.
My friend once came up from behind me and gave me a big hug and squeezed me tight, and it made me happy, and it made my stress go away🥺☺️😊
Clicked faster than someone could say "Let's take a moment to appreciate how much effort Psych2Go put in his videos".
Well done man
Let's take a- Aw man...
Yes
I needed this I even sometimes cuddle my pillow good to know there is actually benefits to it
I wanna say I’ve known my cuddle buddy for awhile but didn’t know how to approach them. Also thought they were in a happy relationship, and was hoping things would’ve worked out. Oh well. I hope they are doing okay, and am excited to see them prosper. There presence and happiness is a present in my eyes.

As a rule, I don't like to be touched. As a matter of fact, it typically makes me pretty angry. So I feel like my partners are surprised when I turn out to be a gigantic cuddle bug just for them, and I've noticed the benefits. I'm an angry person, just in general, but consistent physical affection alleviates the vast majority of it, as well as making it much easier for me to get good sleep, maintain focus, meet goals, and just get out of bed in the morning. It's a severely underrated part of a very close friendship or romantic relationship. If it can bring me down from a constant internal chant of "BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD, SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE" to "overgrown puppy," it's probably a good thing.
TECHNOBLADE NEVER DIES. I had to do it

Quality content that doesn’t force the vid over 8 minutes for an extra ad, I love this channel
there is no ads on youtube.
For me a hug is one of the best ways to demonstrate you love someone, its a great relief, it can make you happier or at least get distracted from pain (as our dear friends says in the video) and yes you feel loved, I am a great fan of hugs, but from now on I think I will give more hugs haha

I love cuddeling but i haven't had friends in such a long time and never had a boy or girlfriend so I'm not used to it and can't see why anyone would cuddle with me
I know cuddling is usually supposed to be reserved for lovers, but as someone who both desperately craves physical affection and is awful at dating, sometimes I wish I could cuddle a close friend platonically just to have someone I care about hold me close. I dunno, that's probably weird, at least, it usually is for the other person. Wish it was more acceptable, the safest and most loved I've ever felt has been while cuddling with friends
I understand you completely.. I didn't grow up with many hugs because both of my parents were either fighting or work all the time. I was deprived with physical touch-- and as I grew up, I was craving for physical affection. I didn't date or had any relationships because I was struggling with mental health problems.. And I wished the same as you-- to cuddle a close friend platonically. So, you're not alone, my friend.
This video was so warming. Ty for adding Freddy and Gregory omega♥️♥️♥️♥️
I only very recently got into hugging. For most of my life, hugging was an obligations. Had to do it to every relative at family gatherings to say goodbye. Since it was like shaking hands at a business deal I felt nothing. That is until I met this one friend, who simply loves hugs. They have got to be the first person I've ever felt a warm hug from. From then on I like giving hugs to recreate that same feeling. Another thing I've noticed as well, is I have a lot more confidence in my Body, which I think amplifies the happiness of Hugs.
Oh yes, I'm such a cuddle bug!! This video means so much to me 🥺🥺
unfortunately noone wants to cuddle in 2022.
I still don't know why I reject hugs all the time, obviously not from family members, but when friends suggest it I feel like I'm supposed to say "no don't hug me"
I don't even know if it's a social norm thing or if it's just me being scared.
nice timing!
i love the refrences

I haven’t been hugged by someone in so long (besides my family and it’s just not the same) I’m a desperate sad lil boi who resorts to holding his own hand in bed at night (and in class when bored or stressed) and sleeps with either a heated plushie in the fetal position (maximum heat feeling efficiently in that position) or a pillow I can rap my arms and legs around lol I’m desperate for physical affection and I’m too afraid and introverted to ask someone for some AND when I was in elementary school I acted all edgy and cool to hide my feelings of sadness and I gained a reputation for not liking being touched or hugged so now no one touches me and if they do I’ve developed a bit of a reflex to swat them away before even thinking about it :,)
Hugs and cuddles are my favourite thing ever ❤️ I hope to find someone who feels the same way someday~ Here’s a reminder to be sure to cherish those around you 💕
For me, who has some serious physical contact (and pretty much anything that could be considered dirty in any way) aversion, this video surely has a whole new meaning.
I often feel like I should hug more... have more contact with people and stuff like that.
However, since I can remember, my stress levels go peak, and I pretty much freak out even with the slightest touch from anyone, even the people I care about, and I push myself away as fast as I can.

After watching this video, I'm gonna go cuddle a cactus just so I can feel something
I literally fell for a classmate girl because of a hug. Because of a single hug. It was just a way for her saying goodbye, she did that to all her friends. But to me it felt so warm and gentle, that I had a crush on her for almost three years!
A one-sided crush, though. She already had a boyfriend, a close mate from her theater group.
So yeah, I think hugs definetely have a very, very strong effect on me.
I love all of them just do not want to say it everytime... Thank You!
Speaking from experience on multiple occasions. when it comes to the topic of cuddling with someone. The usual 2 types that I think about when it comes to cuddling with someone is
#1 romantic which usually leads to sexual cuddling also for some guys out there giving them quite the awkward boner
#2 purely platonic cuddling just both sides very affectionate
What makes it awkward, if I may ask? That would make me smile and blush.

@@Equivocal-squiggle To answer your original first comment. That's mainly Cuz of physical contact of possibly rubbing up against each other, Especially these other things like. if the individual they're having cuddles with has such a soft, very silky, smooth body. if the person smells very nice. also even more so if one of the people is Spooning the other person Who hypothetically just happens to have a Massive jiggly Big 🍑 Booty. Cuz things like that increase even more of the potential awkwardness of the others if trying their absolute best to not be attracted to the other
"when was the last time you hugged someone?" uh...do pillows count?
I love the references
recently I hugged my friend and now ill just goo up to him and be like hey I need a you hug.
he gives great hugs.
I wish I could cuddle my platonic partner but ey lives in a different state than I do. It’s good that I have friends and family to hug instead. 🙂
The only therapeutic hugs I get is with my hot-water bottle.
Your voice is so relaxing, lady!
I honestly need a hug, like I'm not too sad or anything. It'd just be nice for someone to just do it.
i love cuddling ^^
I'm totally not sure since this is just speculation and everything
But I think I started a hugging trend in my batch (to clarify its pre-covid), when I transferred to another school for high school I was so huggy (there would be a rotation of classmates every year so during the second year I wasn't sectioned to my first year classmates).
I hugged a lot of people during the first year, no one commented on it so I thought it was normal when I frequently hug my friends (I'm very comfortable with physical closeness and openness, I thought it was normal no one like hated me for it) and I never noticed that I made such an effect until I started reminiscing about school during covid, I remember a teacher shortly talking how she disliked how there was this trend in our batch on hugging every time (prob cuz it was inappropriate and this warning was third year)
i love how they used schlatt for the heart disease one
Thank you for what you do
Me, who hasn't been touched for like 7-8 years: Guess I'll die 🤷♂
Damn it now I crave for one
This got recommended in ASMR vid feed and now I feel worse I'm at my peak of suffering (high school ) never had a girlfriend for more then 1 day (got bullied for having an online girlfriend) and now I sit in my room play games and think about whatever ADHD train track takes me this is my story of how I sunk down this rabbit hole what's yours
