Are you a hugger?

[Anonymous]

If so, do you announce it when you meet new people?

I hug people I know and love, and only when the occasion calls for it. Otherwise, no hugging. A nice firm handshake will do.

Hell no. I need a shirt that reads, "Please don't hug me." I work with huggers and it is maddening. No, my shitty personality doesn't do a thing to deter them. I really wish it did. If anything it makes them want to hug me more frequently.

I am not a hugger, only with people I know very well. I feel hugging is an intimate action based on a relationship. I am bothered by people I don't know or those I know very casually that use it as a greeting. They may feel comfortable with and enjoy hugging (I know lots of huggers) but it makes me feel really uncomfortable. It's hard to get out of it without hurting the person's feelings. So I suck it up and feel uncomfortable (but try to avoid them in the future). It would be nice if huggers would think about how the other person might feel before forcing a hug on them.

^^^LOL. I like you anti-hugger-you make me laugh.

I am not a hugger with my family of origin or friends and co-workers, but I am a big time hugger with my husband and kids and they love it. They are just so hug-a-licious .

Does being a drunk-hugger count?

I am a hugger, but I only hug those people I actually have a close relationship with.

I'm not a hugger and I think I'm pretty good about sending out the vibe that I don't want to be hugged by most people. Unfortunately, many huggers don't look for social clues so I'm forced to resort to the one-armed "man hug".

No. Don't fucking touch me. Go spread your happiness someplace else thanks.

I think this is me to a large extent too...except maybe the vibe thing. I think I send out vibes that I don't mind it?? I guess maybe I don't hate it but i don't seek it out either.

No. Please don't touch me either.

I am with other huggers. My group of friends is a very huggy group, and a lot of them are cheek-kissers as well. So I get a lot of hugs and kisses in a normal night out. I like it. I'm not dating anyone right now, so sometimes the physical contact can be kind of nice.

I'm totally cool with a hand-shake or a casual head-nod if the situation warrants it, though.
