My old guy friends would give us hugs whenever they saw us, some people might feel uncomfortable with this but sometimes a platonic hug is comforting

Honestly just surround myself with hobbies I like to do and friends. It doesn’t get rid of it but it’s manageable

I just got to a point where I was okay being alone. Like I’m able to find company and comfort by myself and I’m totally okay with that

Dont settle or just go for the first person if it isn’t a good fit. You should want someone not just anyone

I wouldn’t say I’m always fully there, I have my moments. But it’s been a compilation of many years of mentally bettering myself. The real focus was loving myself and who I am.
