It turns out that the lack of touching, hugging causes more serious consequences than we might think. It gradually causes emotional losses: anxiety, insecurity, irritability, depression. It also seriously affects self-esteem, intensifies loneliness, increases stress and gradually deprives us of joy and energy.
