So idk if you really want my advice (I've never been in a relationship before) but here's what I think:

It sort of sounds like you might have a difference in "love languages." Not everyone has a love language and ofc they can change or you can have multiple, but from what I've heard it sounds possible that one of your love languages is physical touch. It also sounds like his isn't really? Plenty of people don't like physical touch as much, and that's okay.

I can understand why you're hurt, but I also don't think he was trying to hurt you. Maybe you can start asking him before you hold his hand? Just like "is it okay if I hold your hand?" Or something? And also maybe communicate a little with him about how your feeling and what you're worried about. I think that's okay.

Uh, anyway, again, you can take this with a grain of salt bc I don't know everything, but I hope it works out for you. 

OK. I won't pretend to be a big expert on this, but I am autistic (at least I think so) so I might be able to give advice.

It's great that you don't want to make him uncomfortable! It is true that you might be effecting a sensory issue. If he also likes you (which I assume he does given you said you've been dating for six months) you can just ask what would be a way to show "express care" for him as you call it. Phrase it however you want; just be sure to be sensitive to his feelings and his preferences.

I've actually been going through something similar - for me it's like this lingering feeling of worry and/or sadness. I've talked with my parents and I think I'm going to be getting a therapist soon.

I want you to know you're not alone and I am having some similar experiences. I reccomend seeking professional help, and at least for the time being speaking to a trusted adult about this. Also try getting enough exercise and time outside, hydrating enough, and being aware of your feelings. And if you're having trouble sleeping, I recommend chamomile tea! It helps me sleep.

I hope it gets better for you soon <3 

Aw, this does happen *hugs you (or offers you cupcakes if that's more your thing)*

I kind of think that everyone goes through something like this. It's unnatural to expect that we'll always be happy, all the time (although gosh it sure would be nice if we were...). If you feel a little sad, try to accept it. Listen to sad music, or cry if you need to, or just go ask someone for a hug. You can also try to cheer yourself up by thinking about all the wonderful things that are in your life. Because, I promise, they're there. Sunsets. Snow. Chocolate chip cookies. The CB. Jokes. Laughter. Fields of flowers, with mountains in the distance and the air full of fragrant, subtle perfume, and the sun shining with full strength... (ik you probably haven't actually seen that, but it exists, and just that thought is oddly cheering, at least for me.) One thing that's really soothing, is to get on your bed and lie down, and ask someone to sit beside you and talk, in a soothing voice, about all the beautiful things you've seen and heard. It helps especially at bedtime. If you don't have someone to do that for you, you can try writing descriptions of them. Or you can ask me to do it, if you need to, though I know it won't be exactly the same thing.

Lemon-balm tea is also really helpful if you need help going to sleep! Just one cup can make you feel reallyyyy sleepy and peaceful. Plus, it's just tea, so it doesn't have any harmful effects (although, since it is quite strong, you shouldn't make a habit of taking it). 

Also - I've learned from experience that in winter, it's worthwhile to consider whether you need extra Vitamin D. If you're not getting much sunlight, you might be needing a little extra vitamin boost. You should definitely consult your parents about that one, though, and research which brands of vitamins are actually legitimate.

I hope this helps! Remember, being a little sad for no reason is perfectly normal, especially in adolescence. It will pass. And in the meantime, I'm here for you if you need me <3

There is so much anger in the world, I'm glad you try to be nice and help even when the world seems against you. My youngest brother tries to do what your bro does all the time, but my parents don't put up with it. I know that anger and agression seem like the easier path, and maybe it is. But it isn't the right path. You should be straight forward and confident, I agree with that, but just because you don't get what you want doesn't mean you throw a fit (how old is your brother?) Just try and do what you are doing, and even though people don't respond to it right away (or at all) know that you are doing the right thing! :)

Sending hope and positivaTEA *hands you a cup* *gives you a bear hug* 

y e s

but I'd feel way too guilty to act mean so I'm just nice, which may not be the best reason, but... well, but anyways, it really does pays off to be nice! At least in my experience, being nice makes me all happy and yay! and being mean is just like what was even the point now I'm just mad and sad and feel bad about myself, and even if I got what I wanted, I realize I don't really want it anymore and just blech. So. But yeah it is really hard when your brother's mean and gets stuff, just what I do is feel overly proud of myself like I'm one of those way-too-noble-but-that's-what-makes-them-heroic heroes in the TV shows and so I'm way better than my brother bc I'm nicer! :)  <-- you don't really have to believe this, just have to think it

umm... hope that... somewhat helped... :/ 

I reloaded and Feiya says KYE OK, with the spaces and everything
