#Chara is sadly a victim of touch trauma. But that doesn't mean they are unable to interact with others.

Honestly human touch IS very important, and I am so glad you're treating it with care and showing a bit more awareness to it, because some people in my circle just... don't find this important?? And I don't like it at all when people I'm not that comfortable around touch me, even if they didn't mean anything malicious by it. Like I don't hate human touch, it just makes me so uncomfortable and annoyed and mad (i don't know why i get mad, but for some reason i do😭) if I get it from certain poeple.

For example: my dad. He just sometimes randomly pokes me and pats me, and when I lean away from his hands, he just start saying things like 'What, can't I touch you?' and then... proceeds (HOLY SHIT SNOWGRAVE REFERENCE???) to touch me again just to fuck with me :(( I know he means well, it's just udfghaoighhi the fact that he just shrugs off the hints that I'm not exactly comfortable with what he's doing is really not helping with our relationship.

OH MY GOD this turned out to be longer that expected. So yes, what I'm trying to say with this is that I greatly appreciate that you depicted this in such a realistic manner (or that you depicted this AT ALL).

HUMAN TOUCH IS IMPORTANT!!! keep that in mind people

🥺🥺 Of course! I am so glad to shed light on it! 🫂🫂🫂

Physical touch and human interaction are such an important aspect of our lives and both are very overlooked in individualistic societies. Humans are a social and group-oriented species. We need physical touch to feel mentally and emotionally stable! But how we get it and need it is different and special for everyone! Talk with friends/family and start slowly incorporating physical touch somewhere in your life. (I started finally hugging friends in late high school and I found out I actually really like hugging friends! It makes me feel happy!)

I recommend watching this video on Touch Starvation and its effects on Gen-Z by a professional doctor. I legitimately cried in the first few minutes, but it is so important to know!

HUMAN TOUCH IS SUPER IMPORTANT!!! Educate yourself so that you can inspire others to do the same ❤️❤️
