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.

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
