How do you get more comfortable with receiving and giving affection?

1. Therapy is a great place to work on these things, because this is probably a symptom and not a cause. Therapy helps you find the root and yank it out!

2. Therapy. If it’s difficult for you to give and receive affection it’s usually because love was not modeled in a healthy way to you as a child.

4. I used to not like people touching me but now I crave hugs and gentles pats and touches. I am not sure what changed, except me getting much more lonely over time

5. I was going to say you change the way you view the affection. As actions of love nt manipulation so therapy
