Is this level of physical touching normal behavior or more?

I have had some colleagues who are more huggy than I am. Always women. And they hug me when they see me after a considerable time has passed and we haven't seen each other. I've been known to hug people if they are having particularly rough times (death of a pet, family member, similar).

The shoulder rub -- yuck.

I am the second paragraph. Ethnically come from a much more physical culture. Hug male and female colleagues if I think they are receptive. But I would never massage someone other than a close, close friend.

Op here. That's what I think also. It's tricky territory because I never know what others intentions are. I just may end up look foolish if I think someone's interested and she's just being friendly

Everyone who ever gave me a shoulder massage was trying to get in my pants.

That being said....let it go. Don't get involved with someone from work.
