- tw for talk of physical contact & dysphoria mention x
recently noticed i don't like being touched. never felt like this before and i have a feeling it might be linked to my dysphoria but idk. i feel really uncomfortable when my grandparents hug me and i avoid holding hands/doing handshakes/generally touching people at all costs. i'm usually fine with my mum, but literally anyone else makes me feel kinda sick. i don't understand why or where it's come from but it's just so frustrating.
and it's like, i'm totally fine with reading about or seeing physical affection. doesn't bother me in the slightest. hecc, even intimate scenes don't bother me all that much. it's just when it involves me that i feel uncomfortable.
btw, don't even get me started on kissing. i'm ace and i might be aro too, and whenever i even think of kissing someone or having them kiss me i physically feel sick. and it's kinda depressing because i feel like i'm never gonna have a healthy relationship if i can't even think of kissing someone.
i'm also scared of romantic relationships in general. i have no experience and i've never been the lovey dovey type. i just don't wanna die alone, lol.
side note, my dysphoria is slowly getting worse. particularly surrounding my voice and my body shape. i want top surgery so badly. oof.
