He then emphasized that he wants to have relationships more casually, enjoying affection that comes without excessive demands.
"For me, I’m just trying to take that pressure off anyone who is close to me. I just want to enjoy the feeling of love that is present at that moment, wherever and however it takes shape. Yes, we all actually need a little hug and affection," he added.
