I think what atleast some of us needed, is for someone to give us a tight hug and say that everything is going to be alright.

Even though we know things are very bad and that they won't be alright, atleast what some of us here needed is for someone to show that they genuinely care. Someone to hold us in their arms and say "Hey, it's going to be alright. I am here!". I am sure lots of people here are sweet people irl and would do the same for those that you care about but it feels like there is no one to do that for us. Atleast no one that shows genuine care and affection. Sometimes I find myself daydreaming about a person who holds me and comforts me and it always makes me cry.

I resonate with your words a lot...

I need this so badly. It's hard because I need it from someone who knows and sees me completely. Someone who doesn't want to change me or try to tell me that what I am feeling is wrong. I need a real embrace and real comfort. I just don't think it's in the cards for me anymore.

I feel you man. It's so difficult.

Personally, this wouldn't do much for me. This world is too far gone for me to be comforted by something like that. Also, when someone tells me "everything will be alright" that just annoys me because I don't agree, it's not my reality. But I can imagine in a utopic world, this would be present and would be one of the countless things that other world would have over this one. However, if a wizard or fairy or angel with a magic wand was telling this to me then maybe I would be comforted because they could do something about my situation. Sadly this most likely doesn't exist.

Yeah I understand. However, for me it's not about whether anything will change, but more about someone showing me that they genuinely care about me.

I've had some nice long hugs recently and I unfortunately could barely feel anything from it. I'm too far gone.

I've never liked the idea that all everyone needs is tough love and to "pick themselves up by the bootstraps." It's good to be disciplined, but sometimes, unrelenting love, gentleness and patience is what will save a person's life.
