Summary
A Reddit user with CFS wrote in September 2026 about having no access to touch and being unable to date. They coped by hugging a large pillow, sitting naked on their bed and warming their hands on a hot water bottle and then pressing them to their skin, and asking trusted people to hold their hand or hug them. They said this did not substitute real human connection.
