Re: Is anyone else here fueled by human affection?

Basically, we're all fueled partly by affection and physical contact, but people who receive the proper nutrition during early development are less dependent on it later on.
Also couldn't this possibly be moved to critical thinking instead?

Yeah, touch deprivation definitely sucks.
That’s why I hated living at my dad’s house so much. Now, I can maybe find an SO and get the human contact I need.
