Yes, I do believe that would have an impact on my general well-being...........
And, this also includes simple physical presence of another human being. Could any of us not have ANY inter-action with others and not feel it in some way?? For example, if you never needed to go to the store, have a coversation with the assistant, a passer-by, a colleague, a neighbour, if you didn't go to work, go to the gas station....
How many of us could truly be okay with that?
The town I left from, I tried to have as little contact with the people there as possible, except for the ones I did contract work for.. I prefered being alone there, but at the same time I was lonely for that human touch from a lady...

| | Touchy.... Feely?? Posted: Jul 13, 2008, 7:01 PM CST | One touch can soothe, comfort and convey caring in an way words never can.
There is a healing power behind the touch and we all experiece that, all the time, without even realising it.
I think at times we forgot about the power of the physical contact; some of us never really developed that state of comfort when touching the others, some of us might loose it when changing the environment ( some cultures are more prone to close contact than others).
And there is also the reason behind the touch and the chemistry with the person you touch. I am a tactile person and living in an environment where people hug and kiss when they meet, so it's really easy to make body contact.
But of course that can't be applied to everybody and there are plenty of people I meet and just shake hands with and that's perfectly normal.
I think a hug, at the right moment, from a person who really cares, can make a great difference.
