“I Feel Too Awkward Or Weird To Book A Cuddle Session.”

Dear Cuddle Practitioner,

Is it weird that I want this? I feel kind of awkward even looking into it. Like I’m doing something shameful for just wanting to be close to someone without it being romantic or sexual. My friends wouldn’t get it. Maybe no one does. But I just want someone to sit beside me and not expect me to be funny or charming or "on."

Dear Just Tired of Pretending,

What you’re asking for is human. You’re not weird. You’re not wrong. You’re real. We were never meant to live untouched or unseen. We all need connection—without performance, without pressure.

This space isn’t about being “on.” It’s about letting go. Letting yourself be. It’s perfectly okay to want closeness without it needing to mean more than it is. You're not alone in that. And you're not asking for too much.

In fact, you're asking for just enough—and I’m here to offer it.

With warmth, — Lovely
