Is it normal to comfort youself?

81% Normal
5 Comments

I've always had difficulty sleeping, ever since I was a young child. At night I would tell myself that things would work out and everthing would be ok. I would always comfort myself until I fell asleep. Now, years later, I still find myself doing this. I wonder if the root of my issues with sleeping and my constant need to comfort myself in order to fall asleep are due to a lack of external comfort. I've never known anyone else to feel this way, and I'm wondering if it really is abnormal.

    but remember u will sleep less and less since u grow older..and there will be less and less comfort u get to sleep (i speak about anxiety) so visit doctor only if u cant sleep at all because your body will tell u when u wana sleep so no wories about being too much awake (hope u not playing wow because there was 1 death being too much awake lol)

    I'm a girl. I do have some anxiety, so that very well may be how I deal with it. If that is the case then it does seem to be far more normal. Thank you for your imput.

    Sounds like a proper way of dealing with anxiety.

    Are you a girl or guy? I don't feel like I need comfort but I'll tell you I sleep like a baby when I fall asleep with someone who does (like my girlfriend). We are primates, it's not THAT uncommon, though yours sounds a lil worse than most ppls
