    Idk why but I get very uncomfortable when people hug me, even if it's family or close friends. Personal space people!! Lol on the other hand I hug my kids all the time

    or if at some point in my life we have been in an intimate relationship which means I am comfortable/use to having you touch me

    otherwise everyone can stay out of my bubble

    I would say I'm a hugger, especially with friends. I don't mind hugs from strangers if you're not creepy about it or smell bad! Love big ole bear hugs, if you're gonna do it, do it right.

    I can tell how uncomfortable someone is by hugging them for 15 minutes.

    Lots of dudes in my gym do the "man" hug (handshake then pat on the back).

    If you've EVER hugged me, I'll hug you on sight. It's a great way to display acceptance, friendship & love. We should all do it more!

    In general no, I am with close family...mom/dad ect. A lot of my friends are huggers and I hug them because I know thats how they greet, its what they like and I like them enough to do it.

    I hug nearly everyone, but I don't initiate it. I think I attract hugs though, somehow. I come off personable (or I just look sad...) lol idk

    I hug my family and husband's family, and close friends who I don't see often. I don't like people who I don't know to hug me.

    When we were on vacation recently we met another couple whom we chatted with in the pool for several days. On the day they were leaving, the husband was saying goodbye to my husband, who offered his hand, and the guy leaned in for a hug. My husband gave him kind of a shoulder thing. Then he came to me, and I also offered my hand. He came to hug me and I said "I don't hug". He looked surprised but I wasn't hugging a half naked stranger.

    I grew up in a hugging family, The church I grew up in was full of huggers. I hug. However I know many people don't like to be hugged so I rarely initiate a hug, particular with a guy. It can make some people feel really uncomfortable. But once, you have hugged me, expect to get hug every time we meet.

    No. There are a few exceptions, but in general I dont like to be touched.

    I only hug my daughters and my BF or ex hubs. I don't even hug my family members. It gives me anxiety.

    I'm not big on random people touching me, many in my extended family are huggers, and I always feel like I'm being groped. I only hug my siblings, hubby, kids and granddaughter.

    Yeah, I'm pretty affectionate now that I think about it. I was going to say no but then started listing all the people I would/do hug and I was like "hey, I'm a hugger!".
