I just heard that a lack of human touch can impair your cognitive functions over time; is this legit or was I being memed? They said it had to do with oxytocin or some shit. That's scary because I literally never touch or get touched by other human beings in any way and I feel like I'm slowly getting retarded. How often do you make physical contact with other people? Do normal people regularly get touched? (even platonically)
Literally google. You're on the internet right now.
thank goodness i ERPed all those dudes in high school, who knows how bad off i'd be otherwise

Just go for a quick walk outside everyday and greet people you meet with a handshake. You get human contact and if you walk for long enough, you might start slimming down, this has been my trick for 2 years now.

No judgements but that's kinda wierd anon

WOW. This must mean that I am highly intelligent, being able to keep up my present intelligence level, even if I have not been touched by another human being for more than 20 years, aside from occasional hugs from relatives. I wonder if touching a pet may replace the human touch? I've been able to touch some cats quite a lot on the way.

Remember that autistic hermit that lived for 27 years in some forest in Maine stealing supplies from campsites? He was fine. You'll be fine too.
Thanks for all the responses, guys. I didn't feel like trying to wade through google for this stuff
