Coronavirus and the psyche - An interview with an expert
Self-control and restraint lead to stress
To contain corona, we now refrain from many opportunities for physical contact. This restraint can have an effect on us humans. However, not everyone finds the prohibition of contact, also known as "social distancing," equally difficult.
How much this impacts us depends on how strong our need for physical touch is. There are people who have a strong need for physical touch and there are people who prefer to go without it. Some people simply don't like to be touched or embraced by anyone.
