Discussion anyone else have a fantasy abt being comforted?

[comeoutandhauntme]

i am someone who is very closed off and guarded when it comes to emotions and how i feel. as such, i rarely ever am vulnerable or cry in front of people. nobody irl knows i am suicidal.

does anyone else have this fantasy of finally breaking down and crying in front of someone and telling them everything, and just being held and comforted? i imagine it an embarrassing amount, way too often.

idk. i just can't ever get myself to talk abt this stuff irl, like the words get stuck, so ig its rlly comforting to create a fantasy in which someone is there and cares for me. curious to see if anyone else experiences this

its very common, dont be embarrassed


that'd be my worst fear though

Yeah. I miss being close to someone, I would take any actual true concern for my well-being. I'm a massive crybaby, any time I so much as think about my issues I bawl, so it's way too difficult to bring anything up casually. All I want is to be held tight, I'm so touch-starved, but there's no one in my life that would accept me in that way.

You are definitely not alone in wishing for and imagining this kind of care and love. My heart goes out to you <3

i didnt exactly break down but i did admit to someone that im suicidal/plan to hang myself. all they said was "i dont think youll do it, i just have a feeling" and then suggested overdosing on pills as a better method. theyve been ignoring my texts since then so i just stopped texting. the fantasy of comfort is long gone for me.

i'm in the same boat with the touch starved thing. i don't feel as though i have anyone in my life that would do this for me either.

ty for the kind words

My favorite daydream is the one where I survive the attempt and everyone realizes they don't want to live without me
