Touch deprived
I'm realizing how I'm not so much a "love-starved" individual, as much as a touch deprived one.
I don't care so much about a person's talk about feelings and wishes, as it relates to me, as much as how that person touches and treats me.
I want so much to be close to someone. I'm starving for physical affection, but I'm so tormented by my own insecurities of not being wanted and desired - all intimacy seems so inappropriate to me!
Is there anyone who understands this?

Starving for attention
A friend wrote to me once how love and closeness is like a full meal that can't be eaten because he has no mouth. He wants and craves the banquet the food someone has offered him, but he's unable to take it for himself. He's been silenced, and keeps his wants and needs to himself.
