One of the wild things about touch starvation is how it makes you hyper aware of any and all touch. It’s not sexual or romantic or anything like that, it’s simply your mind being blown at human contact. It is so out of the norm that you can’t not notice it.

#I was at the dentist and my lip was poked to check for freezing #it caught me off guard so hard #public transit is a nightmare #If I'm sitting with people around a table and bump something #I perform a lot of calculations to see if it was table or human #(It's fairly automatic because I have long legs and fidget with them #but the response is turned up to 11 now)#it's weird and you only tend to hear about hyper awareness when it comes to abuse or trauma #though fuck you if you use touch starvation as an excuse to harass people #and sexually assault someone #you don't HAVE to act on the urge to nuzzle someone #or be creepy about your crotch accidentally being brushed in a cramped space
