I truly have no idea when this started or how to fix it. I've always hated people touching me, it makes my skin crawl and I have an extremely hard time dealingwith skin to skin contact from other people.

But recently I've been feeling extremely isolated and lonely when I'm by myself, and I've been craving physical contact with other people even though I know I would absolutely hate it in reality. Does anyone experience anything similar? And is there any ways to fix it? I've tried doing research on my own but most of the answers have been very social based and things I'm really not great at, so I just dont know what to do.
