Are you a hugger?
Do you feel comfortable giving/receiving hugs from strangers or people you aren't close to?
Why or why not?
I’m definitely a hugger! I tend to be very touchy-feely and have a very small personal bubble. I try to respect that other people have a larger personal bubble but sometimes I forget
I'm a hugger for the most part, but I find myself more reserved these days. There are fewer people I hug, mostly because there are fewer people I connect with, fewer that I'm WILLING to connect with. I've become this dichotomy of affectionate person who prefers his own personal cave; a gregarious hermit, if you will.
Regardless, one thing that really irks me is a weak hug. I hate'em! They're just so... Ugh!
Family and close friends get hugs if they want them. Complete strangers will not get a hug IRL.
I’m a hugger, not to complete strangers but I also don’t have to be that familiar with people either. It really doesn’t bother me. It usually comes from within a sphere of people I know of but don’t know. Again, I’m in Texas it seems to the norm.
if it seems right then it is right but its generally people i know
Friends & family mostly...I am quite naturally affectionate and tactile...
It is important to remember the others mileage may vary..they are not wired that way..which is absolutely fine..never hug someone that you even slightly suspect is not wired to be responsive to a hug. Never invade somebody's personal space by foisting a hug on them...nobody likes awkward...
So apart from friends and family..I reserve hugs for strangers in dire straits who need help and are reaching out.
If I know you then I will hug you if I haven't seen you for a long time. If I'm dating someone or in a relationship then hugs will be random and almost invasive lol
Not to hug. I have a slew of reasons. And then there are a few people that it feels natural so those are "to hug".
My friends, my family & myself - we are all huggers.
