Three years ago I wrote a paper in my class about me and intimacy with other people, specially hugs. And that ended with the teacher sending me to a psychiatrist... stare (like that helped)
Back then I was afraid of hugs, after being shunned by people for 17 years. Now I like hugs, but only NEAR friends or family is allowed.

How do you handle hugs?
Do you jump in people`s arms of joy, or do you prefer building a castle around yourself?

..... we share the same view, it would seem.

I loooooooove hugs!!!!
Not from family though. That kinda scares me. But I will randomly jump on my friends and hug them to death. Or random people at the mall. Oooohhh!!!!! Or people at the skating rink that have no idea what their doing! Because, first of all, you surprise the s**t out of them, second of all, you scare them, and third of all they have absolutely no balance what so ever. Ha. Yeah, that one's the best.

i take it upon myself to make people feel better so if they need a hug then they can get one but i dont neccisarily shun hugs either.

I absolutely love hugs. I can't stand kisses of any kind, but I love hugs.

hugs. I only let people I would trust with my life that close to me. I don't like physical contact unless it's in a fight or with someone I trust. random hugs make me deck people for it. considering right now, I only trust 4 people with my life, only 4 people can give me random hugs when they see me, or attack me with a hug. and by now, they're the only ones who do. smile

I'm a hug whore. But I hate when people I don't like try to hug me. Then I blame be being a germophobe for not hugging them. xd

If I could live on hugs and music instead of air and food, I'd be pretty set for life.

'Cept I'd probably be fat O-o;

Hugs back where I used to live in Connecticut weren't too big unless it was close friends or someone you were in a relationship with. Now, in New York, it's a different story. I swear, before I even get to my first class I've hugged just about everyone I know, half of them before we're even inside. Hugs are like, expected as a greeting. And hugs are just plain fun, if you ask me. Everyone has a different kind of hug, too....I'm one of those cheap one-arm huggers to everyone but my close friends, but it doesn't mean I mind hugging anyone else.

Then again, unless it's me and my girls or someone I'm dating, the freaking minute long cling will probably creep me out some.

Not used to hugs at all, and i've had my shares of bad contact with people, especially involving them. stare What i tend to do if hugs are necessary though, is giving them myself, while i'd make it quick. (Not the other way around, where it's agonizing)
