Is it normal to feel really cuddly when sick?

I'm not even that cuddly normally, but as soon a cold hits me suddenly I'm this huge cuddle freak. Deep down I tell myself that i should stop being clingy but i just get super anxious. is it weird? Im a girl, so i dont know if its just some hormonal thing or if its some female verson of man-flu haha!!

    Well sure its normal to want to be comforted when you're not feeling well. The problem is if they're well, they dont want your germs lol. And if they're feeling icky they probably aren't in the mood to cuddle. Good luck.

  • Normal. When the weather is cold, I feel like being more friendly to people and cuddling with my pillow.

    When I get a cold, I wanna be left alone. I feel like shit, and look even worse than usual.

    Most people want extra comfort and reassurance when they're sick.

    It's not hormonal, but it is more socially acceptable for a woman to do it than a man. Which is dumb. I love to be held when I'm sick, whether it be migraine or cold or whatever. When my boyfriend is sick, I want to cuddle him, but he gets fevers so he doesn't want anyone to touch him, so I don't.
