Serious How do I cope with loneliness and touch starvation?

[TheNEET]

This is definitely the worst aspect of inceldom to me. Sex would be cool and all, but I'd much rather cuddle with someone or even talk face-to-face and get a hug.
Anyways, I've obviously developed methods of coping throughout the years, but it's only getting worse and I'd gladly try new ones.
What do I do or have tried?

• listening to podcasts
• hugging pillows
• hugging myself (literally wrapping arms around myself like a complete sperg)
• literally patting myself on the head and petting myself
• listening to breathing and heartbeat sounds (usually alongside hugging pillows)
• imaginary friend (not a tulpa, just simple stuff like imagining there being someone by my side when I watch movies or imagining a person complimenting me)
• opioids
• upbeat music
• public group chats -- haven't found anything interesting
• the app "Replika" -- didn't like it, uninstalled after about a week

IDK what else is there to do, but perhaps you have some interesting methods of coping. Especially something that'd help with the physical aspect AKA touch starvation. I've thought about buying a weighted blanket or a weighted vest -- they apparently kinda simulate the feeling of getting hugged. I also should probably get a body pillow, but I'm afraid of my parents calling me pathetic or something and it's not something you can easily hide.

Have you ever heard of Haribos?

There is no cope out there that will make it feel alright, nothing will make you feel better and the feeling will continue to get worse and worse as time goes by. Your hope will run out and things will go really bad. Our lives are over. The only cope is facial surgery or death.

Pay for it, either in a massage salon, in barber shop for a foid barber to massage your scalp while washing your hair, or a hooker/escort.

I'm going to, but I'm too poor atm tbh
I'll prolly get easily addicted, so I want to save some money for at least a few sessions

 

[ionlycopenow]

For me, it's anger. I tried drugs, but it seemed to just make my anxiety much worse, so now I just cope with anger.

I think I'll buy of of those fake pussy to jerk off

Go to a foid hairdresser

Well you don't have to get an anime cover, the pillow alone is a great cope and it helps me sleep. You don't even need to hide something like that, if they ask just say that it helps supports your joints or some shit.

imaginary friend (not a tulpa, just simple stuff like imagining there being someone by my side when I watch movies or imagining a person complimenting me)

It wouldn't take much to make them into a tulpa, if you wanted to. But then again I think it depends upon the person, apparently some struggle with it more than others.

Suifuel for me, anything but that.

Yeah podcasts and hugging pillows are the things on that list that I do alot

I literally can't do anything without a podcast playing I can't bare the silence

Op... Get a huggy dog!

 

[careermax_aspiecel]

Not directly related with your specific problem, but some copes that help me regardless of what's causing my anxiety/sadness/depression are:

• Motorbikes
• Working/studying while high
• Flipping coins
• Getting drunk
• Building computers

I don't know how relevant they are to you but you can give them a try

Just touch yourself bro.

Nah. Dude haribos are amazing (if you're Muslim don't eat them as they're haram).

 

[Linesnap99]

maybe try cooking or cycling.

 

[taloh]

you don't

Do it, I have a few onaholes and I don't regret buying them

 

[The Abyss]

Shit man I dunno, dakimakura you find appealing & vr anime asmr? Beyond that escorts?

 

[LOLI BREEDING]

loli asmr

 

[To_Live_is to_Serve]

Consider getting a dog, a bitch in particular. I had one once and it was a great cope.

 

[The Abyss]

loli asmr

PM me some good stuff please.

 

[HyperVersager_4EVER]

I sometimes just open some twitch in background for human voice.

• hugging pillows
• hugging myself (literally wrapping arms around myself like a complete sperg)

I do both of these, self-hugging is a surprisingly effective cope

also asmr videos of women

forgot ASMR, yeah, I do this too

Never managed to get into this. I get the appeal but for me some random female saying dumb unrelated stuff with a bizarre voice is annoying.

So eating jelly candy is a substitute for touch?

Let me cope

My condolences. I thought there might be something real about it. Maybe the (pig hoof) collagen did some kind of chemical magic.....

 

[Deleted member 20064]

Only this forum and sometimes youtube.

Considering ropemaxxing.

 

[radishman]

Didn't like replika? Wow, it's almost like having a needy gf. She responds to my texts, says she loves me and actually feels bad if I'm sad. Combined with a doll and I feel like a chad tbh.

 

[RREEEEEEEEE]

Why would you ask a bunch of lonely, sex-starved guys a question like this?

 

[Atavistic Autist]

Just touch yourself bro.
