The user also mentions a desire for platonic affection like cuddling without it leading to romantic involvement, addressing a personal struggle with social interaction.
I’ve had trouble making friends for years now because I get scared of strangers for some reason and panic when trying to talk. I really do wish there were people I could just hangout with, and I often think about how maybe it would be easier if they had one of those apps like hinge or tinder but with no romantic expectations. I wish there was an app like that but to just go for a walk or hangout somewhere. I’d love to meet more people and make friends, but haven’t had any luck. I also wish affection didn’t always lead to romantic stuff either. I’d want to just cuddle with a friend without it turning into anything else but that. This has been on my mind and I just wanted to get it out there even if it sounds dumb.
