Hugging IRL like it's the forums

[Holiday Agnaktor 1,435]

So yeah, would you hug everyone like on the forum? *hugs everyone*

 

I personally would love this to be a thing, hugging is great. :3

But I don't want to share hugs with people I don't know, that would be awkward and scary... ;-;

[碇 シンジン 27,427]

I think hugging is thing that close friends do, but these days I seen that lot people don't hug even close friends. I think the tension there should be broken and more hugs. But I wouldn't hug totally random people though *hug =)

 No.

 

In my opinion you should only hug your family members and your closest friends. Otherwise it loses its meaning.

Yeah, that makes a lot of sense... :c

[Sommar 1,289]

No I wouldn't hug everyone on here. The only people I hug are my family, relatives, and my closest friends. I'm not the kind of person who would hug random strangers. xD

[Idris 241]

You should definitely go hug a stranger for reference!

i mostly just hug family

[JonasDarkmane 19,777]

I wouldn't really hug strangers, I often flee from hugs IRL since I find the feeling to be strange  . I wouldn't mind friends or if Puck hugged me . 

i mostly just hug family

I actually don't like being hugged by my family, at least least of all  

[catnet 9,353]

I'd be too shy to hug everyone (especially guys, who I'm just more uncomfortable around in general  ), but if someone hugged me first showing me that they're okay with it, or if we talked enough online, I would probably hug them as well. I doubt I'd do so as much as I do on here, however, unless I'm super attached to them. :3

I think it would be strange, alot of people like their privacy and these forums in no way reflect the real world.

[Pastel 7,627]

I'm not sure to see the difference between the 2 questions.

 

But no, I'd only hug people I like.

No offense, to anyone, but i hand out hugs to people who i like, not random strangers.

[DJ Onex 1,673]

I actualy find hugging in general very uncomfortable, no matter who it is. 

Maybe im just wierd?

[The Diver 760]

I'm not really into hugging. "Bro" hugs I'm alright with but not really "hug" hugs if that makes sense. I'm more about giving firm handshakes.

[Jokuc 8,172]

Well I'm the kind of person who likes to hug everyone as much as I can

 

This clearly was a problem when I actually did meet a friend from the forums once and I was like "hugs hugs hugs" and he was like "no more hugs, ok? :s"

 

Anyway, I usually just hug friends and family cause I well I wouldn't know if a stranger even wanted to be hugged and that'd be awkward.

[LittleMac 3,084]

I don't hug much in real life for two reasons:

- I know that people may take it in a weird way

 

- I'm so shy around people that I wouldn't know what it's like to give or receive a hug from someone who isn't my mother

[Guest]

Hugs for girls that I like. Brohugs for the brothers. 

[Grepper 3,192]

I wouldn't be comfortable hugging complete strangers.

[Sugar Pea 2,681]

I'll hug my best friends and family, or people whom hugs mean the world too. Otherwise, I don't honestly like hugs, but it makes the other person feel good.

Let me just put it to you like this ..........I have a REALLY hard time starting up conversations with strangers. So, hugging random people is out of the question. But, if it's family/best friends/ or people who I feel I have had a deep connection with. ( I know people on other forums or Skype who have been so nice and friendly to me, I would hug them if given a chance)

 

However, if I met any one of you I can guarantee you that I will give you all brohoofs/fist bumps. XD 

[brsajo 162]

I only feel comfortable in meaningful hugs. By that, I mean hugs that are given when someone really needs it, due to emotional struggle or otherwise.

[Gearbox10mm 794]

Hugs are the number one spreader of cooties.

[Ziggy + Angel + Rain 11,298]

I have OCD and rarely hug in person.  But, I would somehow manage to hug my closest friends if they were within reach of a physical not-internet hug.  Not just without warning, though. xD

[GrimGrizz 137]

I don't give a lot of people hugs, but I do give hugs to two of my closer friends and my close family. If I know you well and have consent, then it's more likely I'd give you a hug. Also, I would give someone I know a hug if they needed one and wanted one. Other then that, maybe, I'm still a little uncomfortable with it, but if other people like hugs, I guess hugging could maybe become normal.

[Idris 241]

There's a time and a place for stuff. If a stranger pulled your dog from a frozen pond you would give them the best most heartfelt hug ever.

It's not so much about what you do, as how you feel.
