How do you think of HUGS?

Recommended Posts

I love hugs :) I'd gladly hug my friends and all for ages, same with someone I just met. However, most people don't seem to enjoy it as much as I do so I don't get to hug people that often.. I'm pretty open to most physical contact to be honest. I've had a "free hugs and kisses" sign at conventions where I got kisses from strangers, I don't mind at all. In fact, I like it :P

I avoid them like the Black Plague.

They are awkward as hell.

Getting hugged by a random stranger out of nowhere... awkward and suspicious behavior.

 

Getting hugged by people who have earned my trust and respect... Ok I suppose, but still awkward so no hugs are necessary.

 

Getting hugged by people who are my friends and family... I take comfort in their hugs so I'm cool with them.

 

Hugs are weird. We're Humans, not Teddy Bears.

Eh. There's quite a few types of hugs. Bro hugs are pretty common, and I don't mind, as long as we're both cool with it.

I haven't hugged a girl in a while. Outside of my family, that is. The last time I think was when I was leaving basic training. :v

I like hugs. I just don't get them very often.

Your family is who you make it out to be.

If I can avoid them, I do. I try to only hug my wife because I’m awkward about hugging other people. Sadly, this makes me a target for hugs because people who like giving hugs feel the need to try and make us non-hug lovers try and love hugs.

I don’t mind one from family or close friends but generally I don’t like hugs.

I'm not comfortable getting hugs from anyone unless I actually want to be hugged by them.  I think it's more of a trust thing than anything.  Last time someone hugged me was when I was working at this store and one of the managers were really "huggy", he loved hugging everyone and anyone.  I honestly felt uncomfortable with him hugging me but I never complained about it because he was a manager.  So when I left the place, he was the only one that I "let" hug me even though I refused everyone else that asked.  If I say no to you it's because I'm comfortable enough around you to set boundaries and I value you more than someone that I just let randomly hug me.  If I initiate a hug, it's basically the same thing but I'll always ask, I'm just comfortable enough around people that I want to hug and I trust them.  Though I have let a few people randomly hug me, simply by telling them that they can, if they wanted to but that was back in high school.

I loveee hugs! And I often hug people as a thank you for something they did for me, or as a simple sign of affection if I like them. Hugs are amazing and warm, and I don't mind having physical contact with my friends (this sounds weirder than it should) lol. :mlp_please:

However, I hate it when people from my family touch me. Much less hug or (probably worse) kiss me. I don't feel that level on confort with pretty much no one of them. And yes, I don't feel comfortable with someone I'm not at least somwhat close to touching me.

I love hugs, but only with people I'm very close to. Anything outside of a handshake, I don't really want to touch anyone I don't know well.

I don't mind hugs with close friends and family. Hugs can be a good thing, especially for a friend that is down or something. For strangers, a handshake will do.

I'm not much of a hugger. Which makes it all the more strange just how often I end up hugging. I have a cousin who hugs me incessantly (I think she likes to get a reaction out of me) and there's a girlfriend I hug a lot. I don't go out of my way to initiate a hug, but for some reason I still get hugged often, which is strange considering my personality.

I love hugs! :mlp_yeehaa:

But I prefer hugs and other physical gestures of affection to be with people I'm actually close with. Otherwise it can feel like an awkward gesture. One of the most awkward gestures I find is when someone greets/says goodbye with the whole kiss on the cheek thing.

I must be a funny sort of hug magnet. 

So do you know how to determine if someone is ok with hugging? 

Just open up your arms wide and if they do the same then its ok. 

I do it all the time and have never had any negative reaction. 

I love to hug. Its shows you care and is a sign of affection. 

My horse gives hugs too.  She will also try to give you a kiss but most think she is going to bite them LOL
