Do you guys who suffer from BPD also feel a strong need for physical affection? And I'm not talking about anything sexual, but rather just the need to be touched in a loving way, whether it be hugging or cuddling or anything like that. The reason I ask is because I mean, it's something that just drives me nuts but it happens so often that sometimes I don't even really notice it.
Is this just my own personality or is this a thing amongst the BPD sufferers? I mean, I don't even understand why this is.

Quite honestly I think this is a personal thing and unique with every individual. TBH I am very hands off and although at appropriated times It's nice to have physical affection its not something that I require very often. I am very much a person with the traits of BPD but I don't think that the physical thing is related to the disorder at all.
