GOOGLE AI: Humans have a fundamental need for touch, crucial for both physical and emotional well-being, fostering healthy relationships, reducing stress, and promoting a sense of connection and belonging.
Humans naturally crave intimacy, which is crucial for well-being and involves feeling valued, connected, and understood, both physically and emotionally.
I can hug and kiss my wife (not to be crass), but I can do the same with my cat and dogs. Long ago, I learned how needy I was when deprived of this when my second wife abandoned my son and me (she, an RN, thought he was going to die young with his heart defect).
My wife, with Dementia Alzheimer's and Aphasia, is leaving me once more on the shore of an unexplored island without the intimacy I need so very badly. Of course, I will take care of her despite this and not abandon her.
Intimacy can not be purchased in Walmart or on Amazon. I tried to do so online and was severely scammed (my stupidity, of course).
I am so glad I can express myself here on The Cage without former friends and family criticizing or condemning me.
