Touch starvation refers to the longing for touch or physical contact from other living beings. It typically occurs when a person experiences little to no physical contact for a prolonged amount of time. Growing up in tough circumstances and experiencing trauma from a young age.

Touch deprivation, or skin hunger as it's sometimes known, is a condition that arises when we have little or no physical contact with others. This condition appears to be more prevalent in western countries, as we tend to engage in friendly touch less often than in other parts of the world. The rise in the use of technology and mobile devices, as well as fears around harassment, are some of the reasons attributed to this growing problem. Yet touch is essential for our emotional, mental and physical well-being.

The more she read about this, the more signs she could see. Y/N was not a big fan of being touched, ever since her childhood, she had rejected hugs from family members and friends, and her parents had been confused by her behaviour and had thought of taking her to someone for help, only to understand that she just doesn't like being touched. She did not harbour hate for it, just a minor distaste. And there was this one person who did not seem to understand her disapproval towards physical touches. Damon Salvatore.

He always seemed to stay close to her whenever they were in the same room. At the start of their friendship, she had noticed that the vampire would reach out to her but not quite touch her, but now he would engulf her in hugs, pats, soft touches or light brushes, literally anything that would be skin-to-skin. Y/N had tried to get the man to back off and just let her be, but as usual, Damon ignored this and had gotten more persistent in touching her daily.

The girl sighed, Damon seemed to only be affectionate towards her and his brother. Now she has resorted to just ignoring the vampire, so she could understand why he was acting the way he did. This had gone on for three days before the man showed up at her house, demanding answers.

"Damon, hi. What are you doing here?" Y/N asked the vampire before inviting him to her living room. "Are you mad at me or something? You seem to be doing everything in your power to avoid me." He huffed before sitting down next to her. "Well, you have been... um you know busy, didn't want to disturb you or anything. I see that Elena has moved in with you boys, must be nice." Her voice was soft, not once did she lift her head to make eye contact with the dark-haired vampire. Damon frowned before moving to crouch in front of the girl who jumped seeing him. "You know, I wasn't busy at all." He hummed before grabbing hold of her chin making her face him. "Why do you have to touch me?" Y/N blurted out causing the vampire to let her go, muttering a soft apology before speeding out of her house. She looked confused, that was the most awkward conversation that they had.

After the vampire left she sat for only a few minutes before getting up, grabbing her phone and purse and heading towards the Salvatore house. Knocking on the door she waited for it to be answered, soon Stefan opened the door looking surprised at her presence. "What are you doing here? Damon said you're upset with him or something." He asked the girl before following after her. "I just wanted to know why he always has to touch me in some sort of way, since you already know how much I dislike physical contact." She rushed out, her arms moving in circles as she looked at Stefan.
