Loneliness still affects me

No, thanks.

You're asking a question.

But ok

The Solution to the Loneliness Epidemic Might be Cuddle Therapy

I’ve never heard of this before nor has my therapist mentioned it to me.

EDIT: It’s apparently only available in Austin as far as Texas goes.

Texas has some really ridiculous laws. Even getting an escort is highly difficult.

According to the linked material, 'cuddle therapy' is non-sexual,
bears no resemblance to the services which might be provided
by an escort or prostitute.

Fortunately that's not true. As I recall, you live in Temple. This Google Search says there are at least 4 cuddle therapists in that area. If I've got your area wrong, google search "cuddle comfort <your area>" and you should get results. Cuddle therapists are few and far between, but they are out there.
