  • I agree, my only contention is: not something important. Something fundamental to existence. Humans are primates, and touch is one of the most natural interactions a primate has. It is calming, safety, belonging.

    A recent study I saw on science alert talked about how “men experience touching their partners as one of the best solutions to their anxiety”. Yeah, no shit, the sun also rises in the morning lol just my 2 cents














  • Honestly, I think we underestimate how much of an impact telling them that is. Realism isn’t bad, but kids’ only real point of reference is their past experience and what adults tell them. So if we set them up to think it’ll be terrible compared to us, while we complain that everything is bad, they’re gonna assume that’s truly awful to have to be told about it.

    Note: not to say things are going great.
