I am not. Never have been, never will. Have a social event coming up this weekend where there will be some hugs. Ugggh. I'm just not a hugger. Is something wrong with me? :tongue:

Anyone else anti-hug?

    I am not a hugger at social events like you're describing. I like hugs when they come from close friends and family only. Hugging someone I don't know very well or don't have a close personal relationship with is just weird to me.

    Not really, I don't even hug family for the most part. A Hello or Goodbye is enough, I don't need a hug every time...heh

    Only people I regularly hug are my mom and niece.

    I don't mind hugging... if I know the person.
    Stranger hugging is not something I am comfortable with.

    I am so a hugger.

    this.. and a major cuddler.
  • I used to not be a hugger, but up until a few years ago, I love to give and receive hugs! Hugs are the best free gift you can possibly ever give. :)

    Not a hugger at all. The only people that I like to hug are my kids & my fiance.

    I usually try to avoid hugs from anyone, even family. With the exception of my Grandma. I just usually tense up & get all awkward. Yeah, I don't know, my social skills aren't the greatest. :smile:


    * And as far as strangers- shaking hands is as far as I'll go. I've got a problem with personal space- stay outta my bubble :wink:

    I'll accept hugs from someone I don't know super well, but I am not a hug instigator.

    It depends on the person. When it's people I know, or close friends, I LOVE hugs. I'm a snuggly hugger. When it's people I just met for the first time and they go in for a hug, I give a half hug while thinking "Ummm....why the F are you touching me?"

    LMAO!!! I'm a hugger if I know you. If I don't know you I don't want to hug you!

    Just like when I was pregnant . . . I don't want strangers touching my belly. Yeah we in the same elevator you still a stranger!!!

    I'm a total touch-me-not. The only people I care to hug are my husband, kids, and a couple of really close friends. And maybe my grandma, but only because she's awesome.

    I have never been a real touchy person, not even with family. My mother and sister are insane huggers, they hug EVERYONE. I hug when I have to so I'm not an a-hole but I don't go out of my way to hug. Even boyfriends, up until my current boyfriend I wasn't a hugger, but he changed me. lol I love to hug my boyfriend, and his son. I've always loved hugging my god children, little cousins, friends kids and what not. The way I see it, little kid hugs are awesome because they mean it with all of their little hearts. It seems to me like most hugs are just out of habit.

    Total hugger here.
    People that I know aren't huggers, I'll hug them longer 'til it's that uncomfortable time lapse. Makes me laugh.

    yes and no.

    I like to hug my friends.

    but there is a guy at work whom I've been freinds with (work only) for like 15 years. When he hugs me, he squeexes his chest against mine a little too tight ... and holds it there for a little too long.

    I am a hugger. I have experienced them all...

    The normal hug
    The mutual one arm over the shoulder one around the waist hug
    The bear hug
    The lingering hug
    The slow rub on the back hug
    The fast rub on the back hug
    The shoulders in, rear end out hug
    The hug where your heads are around each others arms

    and of course

    The double pat on the back bro hug
