Here's the responses that didn't make it into the last thread, I will catch up with the posts from this thread tomorrow. I also cooked up some bits of the FAQ I mentioned above, but I still need to fill in a couple more questions that are, well, frequently asked before it makes sense to have eyes on it. For now, I wish everyone a good night.

Oh I remember you posting a pic earlier I forgot to respond to after it got deleted. It was cute! The question is, what is the source of your feelings?

>even benign tasks have a ton of weight due to how my life works.
Exactly, which is why I hope there is comfort in knowing it won't be the case as you grow more independent. The reason I stress this is because, and I hope that is a hopeful thought, there is a lot of baggage you will be able to unlearn bit by bit.

>I'm definitely going to try to emulate the way they did that in future hookups
A good call, I think! As for the intimacy thing.. I am not much of a hookup guy, I tend to get close to people before I ever consider anything lewd, but I still get what you mean I believe. The best advice I can think of for you is to keep several people close to you, not necessarily in a sexual way, but one of genuine connection. Having emotional intimacy covered makes you less starved of it, which makes you attach less easily.
