yknow. it's funny. i may just live in a family where i actually got my necessary amount of human touch contact (too many fucking hugs. i do not wike them) and i didn't appreciate that much growing up but my god. at least i have never been one of the people who someone like, held their hand and said something nice and i immediately fell in love with them or whatever. if i were touch starved i think i would literally fling myself off a building. fuck off

#when i finally got to start enforcing boundaries the first one was "no hugs ever or i will physically fight';#my dad was like 'those are developmentaly necessary so can we negotiate down to a few hugs per week'#we landed on one per month #i usually got out of it. i never got more touch starved #i do miss my HIGH CONTACT SPORT (roughhousing) but that satisfies a different human need. to be hit really hard and have your brain reset #like a shitty computer when the fight or flight endorphins finally kick in #and also to pin someone on the ground and take a macguffin from them by force and then run around the house holding it while they throw #oranges and pennies at you #(if i was actually *asked* for the remote back in a serious way i'd give it. u know how it is)
