My friend, who I’ve always had a particular platonic relationship with, has finally got her phone back and getting to talk to her just makes me feel less alone, unloved, and cold. She is just so kind and gentle and treats me better than I deserve, making me feel loved. I typically shun and hate affection but with her it’s ok.

I really hate being vulnerable or weak, but with her I feel like I can vent out my problems and be myself. I just feel so free and happy when she talks to me.
