We’re not huggers.
This is weird if you’re over 5.
You’d think we would be, being mostly girls and loving babies in the way that we do. But I think I can speak for most of my siblings when I say that we’re not really on the hug bandwagon.
I pretty much get all my hugging done with this guy. (And Some Guy)
We don’t deny hugs, we just are always a little caught of guard by them and they typically make me very uncomfortable. Why do people press against each other? What do they get out of hugs? Am I missing something? To me hugs are either sexual or an opportunity for a cheap feel or something reserved for children. I think hugs peak in middle school when they really are an excuse to get all up in another person’s grill and touch them. Creepy.
I’m extremely physically affectionate with my children and significant others, but beyond that I’m a bit weirded out. Is it weird to be weirded out by hugs?
I’m trying to retrain myself. I aspire to being more hug-friendly because clearly I’m missing something. Force me to hug you. Thanks.
Maybe I’m Victorian. Don’t think Victorians hugged.
