This was really interesting. Hadn't thought of touch as it's own food group re social isolation, but definitely relatable. Especially with online social worlds.
What are other folks doing to get some touch in their lives in sparse times?
What To Do If You're Touch Starved
@lonelinesscorps oh hey ya know what I used to do when I was really sick and isolated?
A hot water bottle on my lap or curled up napping. It has a cozy warm weight to it, much like the companionship of a cat, but without all the litter box duty n such.
I still use it to help turn on my parasympathetic nervous system when stressed.
