Hugs from acquaintances
Does anyone else feel this way?
I hate when someone I hardly know randomly gives me a hug. I'm a very private person, and I guess I just dont like people I don't know very well in my personal space. I'm a massage therapist at a chiropractors office, and every so often a patient feels the need to hug me after their treatment. Yesterday, my hairdresser hugged me before I left.
I was wondering how other people felt on the subject.

I am the same way. I only like people that I know really well to hug me. I even have a problem with "friends" (by that I mean one level above "acquaintance") hugging me. I prefer family and close friends. I am also a really private person. I won't push people away who try to hug me. I just try and downgrade it to a side hug.

Being 6’7 and out weighing most women by over a 100 lbs I never initiate hugging because I know my size alone can make many people feel very uncomfortable. That being said I’m not big on being touched. Whenever an acquaintance wants to hug me I usually do the side hug...when you hug someone with one arm and your both facing in the same direction.

I don't have any big problem with hugging, but am I alone in the feeling that more people are hugging people they just barely know these days?

I am often hugging my clients (many I have just met for the first time). It is tough to lose a pet and sometimes a hug can go a long way. I don't mind at all, I know how they feel.

Most of the time I'm not a hugger. I think certain personality types make me comfortable with it though.

It depends. I'm not overly friendly or warm, so hugging someone I don't know well is not something I'm very comfortable with. The only "strangers" I hug are Sorors I just met.

I am a hugger, but I am aware that some people are uncomfortable with that so I try to feel out the situation. I definitely reserve side hugs for members of the opposite sex since I am married and try not to initiate any unwarranted attention (not to mention I do not want to do anything that could be perceived as immodest).

It all depends if the person initiates. I'm more incline to hug women than men because I feel uncomfortable hugging men I don't know too well.

I have a friend who likes to hook up with girls by saying "Can I get a hug" and then slipping them a little tongue. I personally like to say "Can I get a hug" and slip them my wang.

hugging used to be really awkward, as well as overall physical contact - it would bug me out when my mom would hug me!
im a little better about it, and only because i am in situations where people are way more touchy-feeley than the norm (and more than they need to be) - as being an RA, and then meeting new sorors - i have to worry about coming off as anti-social and distant.
and im not trying to get hemmed up!

I enjoy hugging tall attractive folks, it gives me an excuse to have one arm wrapped around their back and one wrapped around their ass.

I don't initiate many, if any, hugs except for maybe with my lady.
I'll hug almost anyone...as long as she's cute.
