I crave affection!

I admit I am just like every other human being in that I crave the warmth of a hug, need to feel someone hold me. Family hugs do not work for me just to add, I don’t know why but I find hugs from family to be empty and kind of horrible feeling. however that is not the point of this post, the point is that when I am around someone who I can recieve nice feelings hugs from I have a nasty little habit of freezing up and being to shy to ask for one. Sometimes I can overcome this and reach out for a hug but mostly I don’t. What I’m trying to say is, how can I overcome my shyness? I want to be more bold, brave, I don’t want to be shy anymore.

i’ve always been super shy too. although i still have my moments the best way i’ve found of getting around it is just to think to your self “who cares” just try not to think about what others will think of you. if they like you for who you are cool but if they dont like you WHO CARES. plus if its hugs youre wanting you dont have to ask for one just go up and give that person a hug what are they going to do push you down?

True I need to improve my self confidence because I think thats whats really holding me back. Last night I made an improvement though, I got two cuddles from the guy I like just by sanging “cuddle please” and holding my arms out, he laughed which made me smile, then cuddled me. It made me very happy. So I’m thinking if I do that a little I’ll eventually be able to just grab a hug without asking or feeling shy. I would like to try hypnotherapy because it intrigues me but how much would it cost and where abouts would I go in order to find a hypnotherapist?
