This is excellent!!

I've always been naturally shy, especially with intimacy or romance. My family wasn't particularly touchy-feely, neither were my friends, and even with romantic partners in university I was a bit shy. Something like dancing lessons was super confronting, but I gradually got used to being physically close to people, either platonically or romantically.

I know that's not really what your poem is about, but that's what I thought about... I wanted to hug my friends or partners, but I needed that consistency and the small steps in order to feel comfortable doing so. Even know I'm still weird with my family.
