Are you a hugger?
Options
My family hugs all the time so in most cases yes. If it's someone I don't know, of course no, but acquaintance's I've known well or for awhile, I'll give them a hug when saying hi. If it's a dude, it's the "man hug".

ill only hug you if you are my mom , sister
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 bubble4 -
Yes.0

Nope I am very prickly. I don't like to be touched!0

No, as paradoxical as this may seem, I love to be close to people and get upset when others get hugs and I don't, But I do not like when people are too close to me, like arms length is too close. I notice that I wince when hugged.0

Nope. Hate it!! No hugs and very little cuddles!
I'm a grump, I don't like anyone in my bubble!
My husband hates it... The only time I like to cuddle is when I'm sad, sick or if I wake up from a nightmare.0 -
I hug my kid constantly, but not anyone else much.0

oooo prickly that is good0 -
With the right person, yes, but generally I'm not a hugger at all.
I'll hug my boyfriend, lots. I have no issues with that. I'll also hug my Mum, but while we get on well, we're not super close. I wouldn't go and automatically hug her if I was upset for example, it's more just in greetings.
Friends I don't initiate hugs for, some of my friends do, and I wouldn't say I'm uncomfortable with it because they're my friend's, but I wouldn't choose to do it myself. I'm the sort of person who if I have a friend who's upset about something, I'll be the one standing/sitting there trying to make them feel better more with words, but feeling awkward/like a crap friend because I'm really not very good at comforting and physical affection (aside from the bf) I do care, greatly, and I hope they realise that even if it doesn't come across well.0 -
In my family all hug each other even to say hi and bye. and among brothers, sisters and parents we say hi and bye with a kiss in the cheek.0

Not usually, but I can be. Very rare though.0
-
No. Hugging anyone except my husband and children makes me uncomfortable. I don't even hug my siblings or father (which I know is weird).1
-
Not really, they weird me out a little. If you're family/really close friends I'll hug you, but random hugs are strange.1
-
I'm a pick you up and squeeze you hugger... Its just how I roll.1
-
Absolutely! I am an extremely touchy/ feely, affectionate person. My entire family is like that. However, I try to be respectful of others who aren't comfortable with it.0
-
No; hugs are awkward for me. I value my personal space, and hugs definitely serve as an extreme intrusion of said space. I don't even hug my family (with the exception of my mom..of course) . For everyone else, a simple "hello" normally will suffice lol1
-
I want to be a hugger because I like it so much when other people are...but no, I do not ever feel comfortable entering someone else's space. I'm not even a "pat you on the shoulder-er" much less a hugger.0
