I hate hugs

I have always hated hugs but totally avoiding them became akward at times so I stopped telling people that I hate hugs.
So today Im at the airport and I see a work colleague. I haven't seen her in a year because we work in different cities so she says " hey give me a hug before you go".
So I am feeling friendly and I like her so I try to give her a real hug my face gets slightly squished near her neck for a second making this like a kiss on her neck🙄🙄
How lame and weird. I hate hugs truly.

🤫maybe you consider it to close up and personal and find it an invasion of your personal space [remsleep]

@NestChicken 😄actually far from it i am from the united kingdom actually . i do not like being touched i know it sound strange but never have since i was a kid . i do not mind hugs if i am upset or i am a very loving person and hate seeing people upset and hurt and will offer a hug too comfort and console them

@smiler2012 I had friends who were really touchy with me. I’m not going to detail how because I respect them. I tend to let my friends do what they want with me cause it’s just flesh. Most people though are respectful and don’t take advantage. I am also very touchy but only with close friends and the ones that are, drown in tlc. It can sometimes be too much for them.

@smiler2012 I like the intention of hugs but I am too akward and I normally don't touch anyone so its hard to have someone so close. It causes a bit of anxiety. I love the love of hugs but I hate the awkwardness of hugs if that makes sense.
Now I personally enjoy taking care of others so I frequently place my hand on the shoulder or arm of someone that I am comforting.
But I can only fully relax in a hug with someone that I have no discomfort or anxiety with such as my mom or husband.

My grandmother was a big hugger. She even said you should hug your enemies. That way you know exactly how big to dig the hole for their body.

I have been away from civilization for decades. And now when i meet long lost friends, i get these crushing hugs. If i was younger these would excite me. 😁

Really?

I hate people, am a total introvert, and I love getting hugs from people I care about...

@SumKindaMunster Yes my husband and my mom and my baby niece are the only exceptions.

@REMsleep I gotcha. Thanks for clarifying, I can understand your viewpoint.

I accept hugs from my family and my hubby. Im not too much of a hugger normally. Its hard for me to show affection.

I used to have a tshirt that describesy feelings exactly. It read "Don't stand there. Hug me."

You and me are completely incompatible then. You’d hate me

But why do you hate hugs?
REMsleep · 41-45, F
@ABCDEF7 Doesn't my question say it all? Ive pretty much kissed some woman's neck which is odd and uncomfortable
ABCDEF7 · M
@REMsleep Never happened to me. Maybe I hug in a different way.

@ABCDEF7 Maybe you aren't 5ft tall and a head lower than most people. Maybe you also don't have massive boobs. Probably that stuff.

I'm sorry 🤣

Hugs are great. We all need hugs. I’m very much a hugger. 🙂

@NoGamesTolerated Yea hugging is ok but squishing my boobs accidentally onto someone or squishing theirs or whatever is uncomfortable for me. Touching people so closely then having to second guess if I should have known where to turn my face or how much pressure to apply is too worrisome.
I almost went for a side hug but last second I added the other arm which messed up where I was going to put my face. I hate this

Hugs = an opportunity for someone to sue you for sexual harassment.

That sucks, I actually love hugs
My mother does, too. She only initiates hugs with Pop, her children and granddaughter. My cousin (her nephew) visited after living in the U.K. to attend his father’s funeral. He brought his Scottish wife, the first time our family met her. She’s a tall, sturdy woman, and upon being introduced, rushed over and got my mother in a bear hug, practically lifting her off her feet. In retrospect it was funny, and we all love Ellen now. But at the time, poor Mom. 🤭
