But Bertinelli wasnt having a single second of Barrymores negative self-talk.

Do not apologize for being so authentic, she declared, reaching out and grabbing the hosts hand.

Communication is what keeps us in.

You are communicating and touching.

You are doing your job.

Thats what youre here on this Earth to do.

Its so authentically you, he added.

This is how you are.

You couldnt change you if you tried.

Barrymore agreed that shes just someone who is naturally touchy.

But I also know its not everybodys cup of tea, she clarified.

I was just happy to find out that there is scientific, neurological benefits.

I think we get a bit afraid of physical connection, she said.

I think we assume that physical connection can only be romantic.

She added, However we need to communicate, it’s how we need to communicate.

And I think we don’t give enough credit to how we communicate with our friends physically.
