People who’ve been single for a long time: how do you deal with the lack of intimacy?

Hook ups and arrangements..

I’m single. I’m not not having fun.

I call people names on the internet so I know what it’s like to have social interactions with other humans…

…bitch

It’s funny… I’m in a relationship now, but was single for a long time. When I was single I filled my life doing all the things I aspire to do once again now that I’m in a relationship. I just don’t have the time.

Never been hugged except from my mother so I don’t know what I’m missing.

I’ve been focused on other types pf love and intimacy: New friendships, love of family, and the intimate relationships I have that are not romantic (nor physical, but they are definitely intimate).

Self love, especially. Both in terms of caring for myself by hydrating, eating, sleeping, creating… And also in terms of masturbation. It has been nice getting to know myself more in that way and it keeps my head clear. (Which helps me maintain boundaries with friends… It is easier to get distracted by physical attraction when I haven’t gotten off recently.)
