@eoinmorris@mastodon.ie There's definitely the connection aspect there, but additionally I think for me it's a feeling that "someone's in my corner", which I think gives a bit of an extra kick there too. I rarely have anyone there, in a practical way, emotional support gets one only so far, especially if one's emotions are on totally own their own scale... :meow_nervous2: But I do recognize that starvation. I don't connect with people easy, as oh so many people have found out (I'm sorry to those gotten dinged by that) but if I do connect, I can be a bit overwhelming, which is then confusing to people as when the connection deepens, I actually pull away and become more serious and restrained (aaaaand sorry to those who've been dinged by that).
